At the points of the Moorillahs where Bougoodoogahdah and her dingoes used to slay the blacks, are heaps of white stones, which are supposed to be the fossilised bones of the massacred men.

They began to suspect the old woman who lived alone and hunted over the moorillahs with her two little dogs.
