{{Use Australian English|date=October 2018}}{{Use dmy dates|date=October 2018}}Barnumbirr is a creator-spirit in the Yolngu culture of Arnhem Land in Australia, who is identified as the planet Venus. She guided the first humans, the Djanggawul^[1] sisters, to Australia. The rising of Barnumbirr in the sky before sunrise marks an important ceremony of the Yolngu.^[2] As she approaches, in the early hours before dawn, the Yolngu say that she draws behind her a rope of light attached to the island of Baralku on Earth, and along this rope, with the aid of a richly decorated "Morning Star Pole", the people are able to communicate with their ancestors.^[3]

After crossing the coastline near Yirrkala, Barnumbirr flew across the land from East to West, creating a songline which named and created the animals, plants, and natural features of the land.
