According to Aboriginal belief, all life is part of one vast unchanging network of relationships which can be traced to the great spirit ancestors of the Dreamtime. The Dreaming is ever present in the spiritual lives of Aboriginal people today. The events of creation are enacted in ceremonies and sacred dance. Songs and sounds of the didgeridoo or clap sticks relate the story of creation and brings the power of the dreaming to life today.

During the creation of our world, the ancestors moved across a barren land, hunting, camping, fishing and loving and in doing so shaped a featureless landscape. Moving from Dreams to actions, the ancestors made the ants, the emus, the crows, the possums, the wallabies, the kangaroos, the lizard, the goanna, the snakes and all the food and plants. They made the sun, the moon and the planets. They made the humans, tribes and clans. Each could transform into the other. A plant could become an animal, an animal a landform, a landform a man or a woman. Everything was created from the same source. Everything was created in the Dreamtime. As the world took shape and was filled with species and varieties of the ancestral transformations, the ancestors tired and retired into* the earth* the sky* the clouds* and the creatures. This is how life was and is created.
