Karrkkanj is a bird now a brown falcon but in the dreamtime he was human like us today.He lived with Ngurdyabohis brother-in-law and mother-in-law.One day falcon came back from hunting and told his brother-in-law Ngudyabok to go and look for sugar-bag (wild honey). So theywent out together but falcon was telling lies because he wanted to kill ngurdyabok.So falcon killed ngurdyabok and went back. The mother and her two daughters asked him. Where is gudyabok? Falcon said I left him behind looking for kangaroo. So the mother and two daughters waited until in the morning. The mother and her daughters went and told their families to come and kill the falcon. So they came with spears and started spearing him but he jumped on top off the log and changed into a bird and flew away.
