Description

Jindalee footprint.  Noorook Yalgorap (Lake Clifton) means the lake with eggs. It is, like all Yalgurap, a yorka (womens) place as is the area known as Wokalup, place of the Rainbow Serpent. Noorook Yalgorap links Jindalee in both her Spirit Woman and Rainbow Serpent forms. The noorook (eggs) are a reference to the eggs laid by the Rainbow Serpent. They are the thrombolites, which, like stromatolites are produced by excretions of an algea called cynobateria. Jindalee wept rainbow tears and gave the world colour, cynobacteria also gave the world colour.
