The black fellows having learnt where the nest was, would get their net and go out to camp near it.

All that evening they would have an emu-hunting corroboree.

The next morning at daylight they would erect their net into a sort of triangular-shaped yard, one side open.

Black fellows would be stationed at each end of the net, and at stated intervals along the mirroon, as the net was called.

When the others were all ready some of the blacks would make a wide circle round the emu, leaving open the side towards the net; they would close in gradually until they frightened the emu off her nest; she would run in the direction where she saw no black fellows and where the net was; the black fellows closing in behind, followed quickly.
