- A set of three rocks stand in the mouth of Trial Bay submerged either completely or par ally within its waters. The waters of Gurka’wuy River flow out through Trial Bay past these rocks conflic ng and clashing in a turbulent unity with the incoming dal waters from the deep ocean. Their names rarely spoken are Dundiwuy, Bamurrungu and Yilpirr. Yolŋu of this area speak of a hole submerged under the rocks, from where bubbles are seen rising to the surface, some mes burs ng forth with a rush. The bubbles are seen as a life force and a direct Ancestral connec on for the Marrakulu. In sacred song, Bamurrungu, a sacred and monolithic rock in the mouth of Trial Bay lies submerged within its waters surrounded by these fish; Buku-Du\gulmirri or Wawurritjpal, Sea Mullet.
