Oolanas Call Babinda Boulders a real location where around 20 people have died (mostly young men) drowned in the rainforest creek after becoming trapped underwater at the Devils pool. This song is based on the Aboriginal legend of a young woman who drowned there a very long time ago and to this day she calls out for her lover which lures young men to their death.
