PART 3: THE NARGUN
This female monster was a dangerous living stone that could magickally bounce back weapons such as arrows, spears and boomerangs at its attackers. It lived in a cave behind a waterfall in what is now Mitchell River National Park, Victoria. It was said to drag passers by into its den.
The cave was considered a special place for women of the Gunai tribe, and in reality was used for women's initiation and learning ceremonies. The Nargun may have been a way of keeping unwanted men away from the area.
