Barnumbirr, also known as Banumbirr or Morning Star, is a creator-spirit in the Yolngu culture of Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory of Australia, who is identified as the planet Venus. In Yolngu Dreaming mythology, she is believed to have guided the first humans, the Djanggawul sisters, to Australia. After the Djanggawul sisters arrived safely near Yirrkala (at Yalangbara) in North East Arnhem Land, Barnumbirr flew across the land from east to west, creating a songline which named and created the animals, plants, and geographical features.

  • Nella mitologia Yolngu, Barnumbirr è uno spirito-creatore della Terra di Arnhem in Australia, che è identificato come il pianeta Venere. Ha guidato i primi umani, le sorelle Djanggawul, in Australia. Il sorgere di Barnumbirr nel cielo prima dell'alba segna un'importante cerimonia dello Yolngu. Mentre si avvicina, nelle prime ore prima dell'alba, disegna dietro di sé una corda di luce attaccata all'isola di Baralku sulla Terra, e lungo questa corda, con l'aiuto di un "Morning Star Pole" riccamente decorato, le persone sono in grado di comunicare con i loro antenati.
