Ngalkunburriyaymi - Mermaids
The upper Liverpool River is a central feature of the Mok clan’s traditional estate of Ankung Djang (Bush Honey Dreaming).
From a young age children are warned of the dangers of being at the water’s edge. “Mermaids” - Ngalkunburriyaymi (also commonly called Yawk Yawk) - inhabiting the Ankung estate waters are unpredictable spirits beings; they can seduce you then pull you down into the water’s depths to drown. They start out in similar form to dragon fly nymphs, develop fish tails and eventually can change their tails for legs to forge for food.
