About Milmilngkan
Milmilngkan
Yoh Milmilngkan maneh yina kunronj mane yi-na. Ka-bo-bebme. Djal njamed 'spring'. Yes, this is the site at Milmilngkan and these represent water, you can see here. The water comes out [the four circles are water/springs]. They are springs.

Kamm-borrolkan Milmilngkan kunred but manekke njamed ka-karrme man-djimdjim spring kunronj kambobebme. Ngalyod might be kanjdji mayh ka-yo ngalyod. Mani rarrk nga-bimbom. KUnred manekke. KUnning ka-yime bonj ka-borrohdolkan nga-nang boyen.

The water comes out at Milmilngkan and there are springs there surrounded by water pandanus where the water comes out of the ground. This might be caused by rainbow serpents which live under the ground there. This is all cross-hatched here. The cross-hatching represents the country there. That's what happens there, i've recently seen the water coming up out of the ground there.
