October is the
Month of the Emu
Ngindyal was a giant sorceress who, over the years, killed many people and ate them. She looked very bird-like, with the shape and feathers of an enormous emu. She established her nest at Wambagruk and laid one huge egg on which she sat, day after day, night after night. One day cheeky Crow flew into her nest and disrupted Ngindyal's peace. She was so annoyed she jumped up off the nest and, with her giant legs, strode across the land chasing Crow as fast as she could. Crow got such a fright; he slipped into a crack in the side of a mountain to hide. Ngindyal immediately lifted her giant leg and, with one hard kick, split the rock in two. Ngindyal chased Crow for miles and split mountain after mountain trying to catch him but Crow eventually found sanctuary in his spirit waters, where Ngindyal could not intrude, so she returned to her nest. Many days later Crow met the Bram-bam-bult brothers and told them how he had outrun the Ngindyal. The brothers were keen to avenge the deaths of many of their people who had been caught and eaten by the Ngindyal, so they asked Crow where they could find her.
The three brothers travelled far and wide across the land with Crow in search of the legendary giant until, in the distance, they saw a bright, shining star. The Crow said, 'that is her eye. She is sitting on her nest.' The three circled the nest and as she noticed the brothers intruding, she leaped to her giant feet to attack them. Fortunately, the brothers were quick and stabbed her with their spears, causing a loss of blood. She weakly ran down to the plains. When Witygurk, the lark, saw the Ngindyal coming, pursued by the Bram-bam-bult's, he came out covered in camouflage. As Ngindyal approached within range, he threw his spear with all his force, striking her in the chest, and she died. The Bram-bam-bult's then split each feather of the Ngindyal down the middle, putting one half of the feathers on the right hand side and the other half on the left, making two heaps. One of the heaps was converted into a cock and the other heap to a hen of the present race of emus, which are much smaller than Ngindyal. They also arranged, through their chants and sorcery, that all future emus would lay a number of eggs instead of one.
The splitting of the feathers is still easily noticeable in the double feathers of all emus today, which consist of two independent shafts. All the tribe folk journeyed to Wambagruk to fetch the giant egg. However, they soon discovered that no one could lift the huge egg, until Babim'bal, the wattlebird, came. He picked it up and flew it back to the camp, where the tribe had a big feast. The nest in which the large egg lay is still visible at Wambagruk. The Ngindyal spirit now occupies a group of stars in the Southern Constellation.
