Description
Jidirah the Whale & the Seven Sisters
The Mirning people believed that at the beginning of time a great white spirit whale called Jidirah came down from the Milky Way with the Seven Sisters dancing on his back, to create the earth and the sky. Jidirah left his mark on the landscape; this place is now known as the Head of the Great Australian Bight or the Bunda Cliffs. The Mirning have communicated with the Southern Right Whales over hundreds and thousands of years.
