Songs of the Dreamtime
The creating ancestors carved paths in the sky that marked the boundaries of their creation. These paths are known as ‘Song Lines’ and are recorded in Aboriginal song, dance, art and stories.
A song is made from lots of little verses, and each verse describes a particular event or creation attributed to an ancestor. Many of these songs can be strung together to detail the events in a specific ancestors journey. Therefore someone who can perform these songs can travel through several songlines virtually travelling the entirety of Australia following in the footsteps of our ancestors to see touch and feel places we have never visited in our lives.
