Summary |
A charming morality tale, this book tells the tale of the Rainbow Serpent and the creation of the Darling/Barka River. In the Dreamtime, the bush was in the middle of a drought. A storm came and Mundegutta Gooriya the Super Snake was created. Way back, before Once-upon-a-time there was the Dreamtime and the bush was in the middle of a drought. After a storm, one large rainbow curved down. The Super Snake slithered down that rainbow on to the earth and promised the Elders he could help them find water. That Super Snake called out, 'You can't have a rainbow without water. 'Dhurraluwi guuma-li - Come together! Wantima - Rise up! Woorri - Share.' |
