Loo-errn is the guardian spirit-ancestor of the Boonwurrung, the Western Port people of the Kulin. William Thomas, Assistant Protector of Aborigines at Western Port, recorded that Loo-errn had his house at Wamoon, Wilsons Promontory, and ruled the country called Marr-ne-beek between Hoddle's Creek and the Promontory; strangers such as the Geelong people had to seek leave before travelling through it. Boonwurrung tradition holds that their land was carved out by Loo-errn as he moved from the Yarra Flats down to his final resting place at Wamoon. The being is honoured on both sides of a cultural boundary: the Brataualung clan of the Gunaikurnai, whose country includes the Promontory itself, likewise regard it as the home of their spirit ancestor, whom Howitt's Gippsland material names Loán or Lohan.
