"The tribes of whose language a specimen is attached divide themselves into two classes, viz., Piindri or tree-climbers, and Kathoongal or fisherman. It is, I am informed, a tradition of theirs that the earth was once destroyed, some say by water and others by fire, and was subsequently repeopled from the moon."

Quoted from Curr, Edward M., The Australian Race (Melbourne: John Ferres, 1886), 3: 420.
