There is an Aboriginal myth that a man whose wife and lover brought about the death of his son. The two men fought and the father Purukupali drowned himself with the body of his dead son. The lover became the moon man with the wounds visible on his face, and the wife Japara became the Curlew and roams the forest at night wailing with remorse and sorrow over the loss of her son and the calamity she brought to the world.
