"The woman is a Bibulmun Yorga (woman). The Bibulmun tribe gets the name from the fact they came from the hills country that follows the coastline. These hills have many features that resemble women’s breasts or bibbys and also the fact that it is an area ruled by matrilineal moiety (groups determined by the mother).

The woman is wearing a kangaroo skin cloak called a buka (pronounced “boo-ka”). On her head, she is wearing a yaggardi. She is holding a wooden dish called a yandi / East Coast Coolamon. The Coolamon is a traditional Aboriginal carrying vessel, and this dish can carry water, fire, wood, food, babies. She is holding a wanna (digging stick).

The dog is called dwerda and is the clan totem for Wanneroo, Yanchep, Moora areas. Borunga means totem and Borongorup is the birthplace of all Bibulmun just like the Garden of Eden to Christians.

Wanneroo is a songline for a country. Wanneroo is derived from Bibulmun sacra word which denotes the country of vegetable foods, yams, yanget and tuart roots. How coincidental the Southern Europeans set up market gardens in this area."
