In the Australian Aboriginal mythology of the Ramindjeri subgroup of the Ngarrindjeri people, Kondole was a mean and rude man. One night, the performers during a ceremony needed someone to keep a fire going; Kondole was the only one with fire, and he hid in the bush. The men argued with him, and one got frustrated and threw a spear into Kondole's skull. All the men then turned into animals, including kangaroos, possums, fish and birds. Kondole became a whale and the hole in his head from the spear became his blowhole. Kondole was the first whale according to Aboriginal myth.[1][2]

Ian Milne wrote the book Kondole the Whale based on this story in 1992[3]
