In Australian Aboriginal mythology, the Djunkgao are a group of sisters who are associated with floods and ocean currents. They named the clans and all the animals, and made sacred wells from yam sticks. The youngest one was incestously raped and the sisters became mundane women.[1] The sisters are also represented in star constellations.[2][3][4]
