In
Aborigine mythology,
Kondole was a mean and rude man. One night, the performers during a ceremony needed someone to keep a fire going; Kondole was the only one with fire, and he hid in the bush. The men argue with him, and one gets frustrated and throws a
spear into Kondole's
skull. All the men then turn into
animals, including
kangaroos,
possums,
fish and
birds. Kondole became a
whale and the hole in his head from the spear became his
blowhole[?].
