The story about Umburri is the story of the half moon. The old people use to wait for the half moon's reflection to go onto the water. Then they would take a fire stick, hit the reflection in the water and ask for fat fish. After they did this they would go fishing and catch a lot of fish. The dreaming for Umburri is the fish dreaming, that’s why the old people painted all the fish in the cave. Umburri got that fish dreaming back in Lailai when people from up north chased the blue bone. The fish was looking for shelter so he swam to Umburri and he found shelter there by forming himself into a rock.
