It’s not Australian, but one figure in this religion is either a rainbow serpent or is married to one, possibly inspiring the title of a 1985 book about this religion by Wade Davis.

One spirit in this religion is symbolized by wooden crosses at crossroads (10[2])and is usually depicted in a top hat and (10[1])tuxedo smoking a cigar.
