Birringoloo is the second wife of Byaame, the creator/culture hero.[1]
Etymology and History
The Euahlayi and the Kamilaroi see Birringoloo sits by the campfire of Byaame's camp (the star Alpha Muscae), and all women with girl children who die come to this camp before going on to Bulimah (Heaven behind Warrambul). They wait at this camp until all their girl children have died and come to the camp, and then they can proceed to Bulimah.[2]
