Story: Uncle Sandy Atkinson and Uncle Freddie Dowling
Artist: Paul Blizzard

Mundgee, swam freely up and down Tongala (Murray River) and all its tributaries, including Torryong (Ovens River) and Poodumbia (King River). As he grew in these rivers he found it difficult to turn around. He made turning circles and that’s how the waterholes were made.
