THE GOANNA (Milbili)
The perentie (Nintaka) agreed to decorate the goanna for a ceremony. The perentie was a good artist, who took great care with his work. So he painted the goanna with great care and skill, painting fine lines and dots over the goanna's body. When the paint had dried, he turned the goanna over and using the thinnest of brushes and the greatest of care, painted extremely fine lines on his belly. The Perentie became jealous of the goanna beautiful colours and pattens so the perentie cursed the goanna and said that from now on he must live in the branches of trees and take shelter in the tree hollows, while he would use the rocks as his home and shelter.
Today, you can see the two keep to their own habitats, still wearing the designs on their bodies. The goanna with a delicate lace-like pattern on its back
