As one scholar pointed out, different groups have different stories for the same place, but more often, stories differ because not all Aborigines are eager to share important stories with outsiders. While the version I both read and heard did involve a magic man and three girls, it was a bunyip (mythical monster) they were escaping. (Though Aboriginal mythology is certainly full of stories where falling in love has brought about disaster.) To escape being devoured by the bunyip, the witch doctor transformed the three girls into the pillars, then transformed himself into a lyrebird. However, he dropped his magic stick, and that is why the lyrebird can be found scratching around at the base of the cliffs, still searching for the magic stick, so he can change back. But I suspect that even these two versions are not the only ones. This version of the story of the three sisters reminds me how difficult it is to discover the old stories.

I figure it's always a good idea to do what the pros do -- so when they announce before take-off that they recommend that you "do what we do in the cockpit, and keep your seatbelt fastened whenever you're in your seat," I assume they know what they're talking about and keep my belt fastened when I'm in my seat. I may loosen it a bit after take-off, for comfort on a really long flight, but I like improving my of always ending the trip alive.
