Men of the Yirritja moiety enter the ceremonial ground to the sound of clapsticks, lightly hopping on each leg, a dance associated with the Catfish totem; they group around the “Jirawara” ceremonial forked pole which is the focal point of the ceremony and perform the Bandicoot totem dance, sitting on their haunches, moving forward. They leave the ceremonial ground the way they came.
