I thought I'd mention Left-hand George here, or George Djunggunwanga. I'm not sure if anyone has heard George's 'bush name' pronounced by a countryman but the way I have spelt his bush name is orthographically correct if we used YM orthography. Others have spelt it as Jangawanga and Jungawanga previously but this bears little resemblance to the way his name is pronounced by Aboriginal people.

Djunggunwanga is actually a Marrangu clansman whose country is near Ramingining. He is Balang' skin and a brother of Jimmy Djamanba.

Below is a pic of a an old Djunggunwanga mago which has been used locally in his community for recreational and ceremonial purposes.
