THE DREAMTIME They say we have been here for 40 000 years, but it is much longer We have been here since time began We have come directly out of the Dreamtime of our creative ancestors We have kept the earth as it was on the first day. Our culture is focused on recording the origins of life. We refer to forces and powers that created the world as creative ancestors. Our beautiful world has been created only in accordance with the power, wisdom and intentions of our ancestral beings. THE DREAMTIME During the creation of our world , the ancestors moved across a barren land, hunting, camping, fighting and loving and in doins so shaped a feartureless landscape. Moving from Dreams to actions, the ancestors made the ants, the emus, the crows, the possums, the wallabies, the kankaroos, the lizard, the goanna, the snakes and all the food and plants. They made the sun, the moon and the planets. They made the humans, tribes and clans. Each could transform into the other. A plant could become an animal, an animal a landform, a landform a man or a woman. Everything was created from the same source. Everything was created in our Dreamtime. As the world took shape and was filled with species and varieties of the ancestral tranformations, the ancestors tired and retired into the earth the sky the clouds and the creatures to live within all their created In our Dreamtime DREAMTIME TJUKURRPAKU CULTURE | DIDGERIDOO | GALLERY | EMAIL US | HOME PAGE | © Aboriginal Australia Pty Ltd
