Baiame

Baiame In Australian mythology, the totemic ancestor of the Kamilaron tribe of New South Wales who taught the people customs and sacred rites. His wives are Cunnembeille, who bore him children, and his favourite, Birrahgnooloo, who did not. Birrahgnooloo, however, sends floods upon the earth; Baiame is invoked for rain.
