Bill Harney

Grass Owl – Guyaru Grass Owl, he was travelling right across the country with the Grasshopper People. He met the Grasshopper People. They had a ceremony at a place called Congomia and then one of them, Jerragek – the little log owl, was making a lot of sound – jerragek, jerragek – and he sang out. The bush turkey was singing ceremony and night owl and all of them dance in Congomia. And Grasshopper brought the yam called Margulu – made by Netbun. That’s him – big ceremony. Congomia is not too far from the Moon Man rock art site. Guyaru features in a rock art site a short distance from the Moon Man site in Bill’s country – Wardaman country – south west of Katherine. Bill says “Guyaru – singing all night giving happiness to the people”.
