When the Buloogan got to the water, he found the Dirrangun had dammed the water up. The Buloogan broke the dam and the water started to run away. When Dirrangun saw the water coming, she started to try and dam it. But the water began to come faster and wider. These mountains that you see here are dams Dirrangun made to stop the water. But it broke through them.

And at last the water came down and went into the sea, Burraga. That's how the Clarence River came to be here. Mount Ogilvie, that's one of the dams Dirrangun made. The gorge down below Baryulgil is the place of the last dam that Dirrangun made. But the water broke through.

When the water got through to Yamba, Dirrangun realised that she couldn’t stop it, so she cursed it and made it salt so that no-one could drink it Somewhere in the mouth of the Clarence is the last stand of Dirrangun as she tried to stop the water. She threw herself in front of the water to try and stop it, but the water just rushed over her and she was turned to stone."
