This book gives a fascinating glimpse of thewild and entertaining deeds of the mythic beings populating Aboriginal spiritual life.

What makes the bullroarer more than just a toy? How did the frilled lizard scar it's tongue? From acts of creation and the deeds of the Great Spirit, to totemic ancestors and tales explaining natural phenomena, this delightful collection of stories paints a picture of the mystical bond that exists between Aboriginal people, the environment and the spirit life of the Dreamtime. Gathered from often quite isolated Aboriginal groups throughout Australia and passed down over thousands of years, some of the myths have striking similarities.
