Milbi – Aboriginal stories from Queensland’s Endeavour River
Summary
A long time ago, on the Country of Guugu Yimithirr people, ancient creatures hunted, danced, played and gathered food.
The Magpie brothers chased the giant Dingo; the greedy White Cockatoo stole food from two Night Owl sisters; Storm threw lightning at Frill Lizard; and Eagle walked on the ground.
As they roamed about, they disturbed the land, making rivers, lagoons and mountains, spreading plants and changing the colour of animals — creating the land we see today.
