Dumbi is an owl who resides in Ngarinyin Country. A boy and a girl teased Dumbi and plucked out his feathers. He then flew to the Wandjina Wodjin who said he would create a large flood to punish the tribe from where the boy and girl came. At a place called Wanalirri, the Wandjina gathered a large flock of brolgas which stomped on a huge black soil plain to create quicksand. The flood came and drowned many people; those who tried to escape were lost in the quicksand. The boy and girl were safe because they were on high ground, they were taen there by a kangaroo, and they travelled on the kangaroo's tail. A tata lizard called Gunarda warned the Wandjina that the boy and the girl has escaped. The rains and lightening started to chase the bot and girl they ran to a hollowed out boab tree. Once they were in the tree, the Wandjina closed it up and they were lost for ever. In another version of the story the boy and girl survive the flood and mate to produce a new tribe. The Ungud (totem) snake is the one that made the rivers and holds water. If they ae distributed then they will kill whoever disturbs them.
