This work shows the strong seaweed bäday growing from its seeds that float in the water around Murruŋga and Galiwin’ku.
Bäḏay is strong and can be used as rope when harvested from the sea, but is also a term used to refer to twined rope made from balgurr (Kurrajong) that is use for turtle and dugong hunting. The three strings that are twined to make this rope are said to be symbolic of the three Dhuwa Yan-nhaŋu clans, Maḻarra, Gamaḻaŋga and Gorryindi working together. These three clans are all associated with Murruŋga.
