Goorrandalng is also the name of the dreaming place, at Keep River National Park in the Northern Territory, where women can go to become pregnant.

In the Goorrandalng dreamtime story, women went to the special place and turned into brolgas.

Granny Sheba Dignari is the custodian of the Goorrandalng story and song as the most senior Miriwoong person from Wiram country, which straddles the Western Australia and Northern Territory border.

The Goorrandalng hill is situated in Wiram country within the Keep River National Park.

Children learn about stories for country through the brolga song, Goorrandalng.
