Mossman Travel Blog | Travelogue | Travel Journal

Australia III - This time we started in Brisbane, took a flight up North to Darwin, went on a 4day Kakadu Nat Park 4WD Tour, took another flight to Cairns and from there we rented a camper to travel back down South to Brisbane. Will we ever make it.?

Manjal Dimbi

The peak in view is called Manjal Dimbi by the Kuku Yalanji. Roughly translated, the words mean "mountain holding back", as the large humanoid rock represents Kubirri, who came to the aid of the Kuku Yalanji when they were persecuted by the evil spirit, Wurrumbu.

Kubirri holds back the evil spirit, who is now confined to The Bluff above Mossman River, Manjal Dimbi has been anglicised to "Mt Demi", and Kubirri is known as the "Good Shepherd".
