There are several here.
Pardon?
This appear to be a collection of ANY myth that includes water - regardless of whether it's a flood.
Such as
"Some people came from north and danced the nyalaidj ceremony. While they danced, one girl climbed a pandanus palm and was calling out, and an orphan boy was crying. The people kept dancing. The crying and calling upset the place, and water came up from underneath. The people cried in fear, but they couldn't run away because the ground became soft, and the water covered them. Ngalyod the Rainbow Serpent ate them, first the people who were calling out and the orphan who was crying. The name of the place is Gaalbaraya; it is still a taboo place. [Berndt & Berndt, pp. 96-97][/quote]
Water came up from underneath a palm tree and made the ground soft ?
THAT's a global flood myth?
What a laugh - none of them are a global flood at all.
