In the heart of aboriginal society the dreamtime or the Tjukurrpa is the essence of the world. In this episode on the history and life of the First Australians, Kulasegaram Sanchayan brings to you the stories on creation. The image is a Dreamtime Fine Art Creation by the artist Peter Muraay Djeripi Mulcahy based on a dreaming story given by Auntie June Barker. Warabah (the turtle) symbol of the warrior and protection. A man that put himself and his desire above that of his people. The painting is to be read section by section (bottom left clockwise). This depiction describes in detail the events that would unfold in this ancient and dramatic story.
