(what does it) mean, represent?
Buwathay:
To me, it's the river, river valley. How that river was... hit
that big rock then the river water was falling down this way.
(interviewer: The big rock's up the river, this way?)
Buwathay: Yow (yes). That's my understanding, for playing yidaki
and singing. My understanding is the gapu (water/river) Gularri.
Yow.
(interviewer: Like the rushing waters?)
Buwathay: Yow, rushing water. (Mirrwat\a,
off camera: Like flowing down out of the saltwater.) The sound, you can listen careful,
sit down, it's like playing the didjeridu and singing song. Yow.
