  The Origin of the Narran Lake
Birrahgnooloo and Cunnunbeillee built a bough shade first, where they left their goolays holding their food, and the yams and frogs which they had found.
Birrahgnooloo and Cunnunbeillee were covered with wet slime, and seemed quite lifeless; but Byamee carried the bodies of his wives and laid them on two nests of red ants.
Byamee counselled Birrahgnooloo and Cunnunbeillee to beware of bathing in the deep holes of the Narran, lest such holes be the haunt of kurreahs.

 The Euahlayi Tribe: Chapter II. The All Father, Byamee
The chief wife of Byamee, Birrahgnooloo, is claimed as the mother of all, for she, like him, had a totem for each part of her body; no one totem can claim her, but all do.
Yet it was Birrahgnooloo whom Byamee best loved and made his companion, giving her power and position which no other held.
She too, like him, is partially crystallised in the sky-camp, where they are together; the upper parts of their bodies are as on earth; to her, those who want floods go, and when willing to grant their requests, she bids Cunnumbeillee start the flood-ball of blood rolling down the mountains.

 The Origin of the Narran Lake
Old Byamee said to his two young wives, Birrahgnooloo and Cunnunbeillee, "I have stuck a white feather between the hind legs of a bee, and am going to let it go and then follow it to its nest, that I may get honey.
While I go for the honey, go you two out and get frogs and yams, then meet me at Coorigel Spring, where we will camp, for sweet and clear is the water there." The wives, taking their goolays and yam sticks, went out as he told them.
When he reached there he saw the bough shed his wives had made, he saw the yams they had dug from the ground, and he saw the frogs, but Birrahgnooloo and Cunnunbeillee he saw not.
