Title Kiandok ‘Wallaby’
Description This string figure represents a wallaby (Thylogale browni), which mostly inhabits the mountainous part of Awiakay land. Wallabies are hunted for food, but do not often appear in myths or songs.
When the string figure is finished, the maker tries to ‘shoot’ the wallaby. If the string entangles, the wallaby is shot, if not, it was missed, and the figure-maker tries again. When the wallaby is shot, the string figure-maker goes on to make ‘fire’, on which to ‘cook’ the wallaby.
