Going home Bootha told me that the smoking process was to keep the spirits away, and to disinfect us from any disease the dead might have; and she said had we not been smoked the spirits might have followed us back to the house. They would at once change their camp; the old one would be gummarl a tabooed place; but before they left it they would burn smoke fires there to scare away the spirits.
The graves in some parts of Australia are marked by carved trees; only a few painted upright posts marked them on the Narran. A tabooed camp has always a marked tree just a piece of bark cut off and some red markings made on the wood, which indicate that the place is gummarl.
