Mingarope is an obscure female deity. She features, along with Bund-jil, in Australian aboriginal creation narrative. [1] [2] [3] [4]
An 1879 work [5] records that "Mingarope having retired upon a natural occasion was highly pleased with the red color of her excrement, which she began to mould into the form of a man, and tickling it, it showed signs of life and began to laugh." [6]
