In Garrarrag, the men enter the ceremony area from the private area. The women, kids and people who have not been through ceremony stand at the tree with their backs to the men for respect. The ceremony leader, Gumajulu Nunggarrgalu calls the Lharra (ceremony song), this time for the Wurramarrba clan. Marrabana Nunggarrgau and a young Wurramarrba man perform the Garrarrag dance with the nabi (honey bee) totem.
