According to Australian (Aboriginal) Mythology – The Ipilja-Ipilja was a ''Creation Deity'' which was personified as a ''Blue Gecko'' (Lizard). ''He'' lived in a Swamp known as Numarika. These waters were seen as sacred and if a Human were to drink of it's waters – they would die. Ipilja-Ipilja was responsible for all Thunder and Lighting in The World – which was ''unleashed'' due to His anger of Humans mistreating The World.
