The Quinkan are the figurative incarnations of sexual desire. This rare bark evokes the story of Tul-Tul, the plover bird who went hunting and left his wife at camp. A Quinkan was watching the camp and got excited when he saw this woman breaking nuts, legs apart. He snuck up on her, knocked her over and shoved his penis into her. The penis was so long that it pierced her until it came out of his mouth. She died of it. On his return, Tul-Tul, furious – although he was able to resurrect his wife – took revenge on the Quinkan by burning the tree where he had taken refuge. But the penis of the Quinkan proved so strong that it escaped combustion and Tul-Tul had to cut it into small pieces which he spread throughout the country so that every man and woman received a part.
