Algaigho, the Fire Woman, planted the Kuybuk (yellow banksias) in the woodlands and used their smouldering flowers to carry fire.

She used to travel with a fire doing lots of burn out, bush fires. She would carry Kuybuk with her to light fires easily. In the evenings she used to cook bush tucker. She would hunt by burning the grass to get the animals to run out. She travelled from Katherine to Nourlangie. She got stuck at Nourlangie and turned into a Djang place. Kumyoukumouk is a song line that tells her story. At Nanguluwur is a rock art painting of Algaigho.
