Gunaikurnai people

That is the most Australian thing I have ever heard.

And finally, the Gunai-Kurnai people of Gippsland in Victoria tell a dreaming story about a giant frog named Tidalik.

who woke up desperately thirsty and drank every river and waterhole dry.

All the other animals tried everything to get the water back, until an eel wriggled into such ridiculous shapes that Tiddalik burst out laughing and all the water came rushing back into the land.

Recent archaeological discoveries at Clog's Cave in Australia reveal ritual installations dating back roughly 12,000 years.

Their configuration closely matches 19th century ethnographic accounts of the Gunai-Kurnai people, describing a curse practice in which a throwing stick was placed at an angle beside a small fire and left to fall.

In the Greco-Roman world, binding spells were inscribed on thin lead tablets and deposited at springs, wells, crossroads, or graves, wherever spiritual powers were believed to be present that might be enlisted to carry out the curse.

In Tibet, magical objects might be carried to a haunted mountain.
