Bulga is a practical self contained little amphibian who has learned to deal with extremes by burying itself deep in mud as drought approaches. Bulga exude their own protective cocoon to enshrine them while they enter a state of suspended animation until long awaited rains bring country back to life. They emerge from hibernation bearing an astonishing cruciform apostematism.

*Bulga means crucifix frog Gamilaraay language
