It was in the Dhuwa moiety lands of Mulanga on the east bank of the Glyde River that the Ancestor Gurrmirringu, known as the Great Hunter, lived. He wandered these lands harvesting fruit, seeds, berries, goanna, kangaroo, birds and fish.

Gurrmirringu’s life as a hunter was a favourite subject for Malangi in bark paintings and sculpture. A rare early depiction shows Gurrmirringuwith a wallaby resting on his shoulders, while both paintings and sculptures depict the hunter with his wife hunting, with dilly bags used for carrying food suspended from the head or shoulders.
