Warloo Country is south of Warmun, near Five Mile where Mabel was born. This is Mabel's father's country. Glingennayn is the name of the Ngarranggarni (Dreaming) rainbow. In the Ngarranggarni the rainbow was a man. As he climbed this hill, Glingennayn heard a dog barking and turned his head around to see where the dog was. He is still there on that hill, looking for the dog.
