Upright, with the aid of string, and Sawing method.

Kūnari and Yualgu - names given to upright method.

Dried root of mulga or gum tree, called birlirli, is the wood used. Spinifex fibre - d,uti or juti (string), or marabu, kangaroo sinew - is wound twice round the upright stick; the ends of juti are held by two natives, one of whom presses down the stick into the groove of the horizontal piece.

Rēribilu - sawing method

The wood of the kariri tree is used, also sandalwood (walgu). A slit is made in the wood, a wedge put in the opening at the end. In the groove below the wedge, tinder and other inflammable substance is thrust. A thin piece of kariri is sharpened and sawn edgewise across the groove. A fire results in less than a minute.
