Birrangulu

In Gamilaraay mythology, Birrangulu (‘face like an axe handle’, from birra ‘axe handle’ and ngulu ‘forehead’)[1] or Birrahgnooloo is a fertility spirit[citation needed] who would send floods if properly asked.[2] She is said to have had a long thin face.[1]

Birrangulu is one of two wives of Baiame,[1][3] with whom she is the mother of Daramulum.[citation needed]

In the Guwamu language, Birrangula, is a name of the Creator.[1]
