Australian Dreaming is the first Aboriginal history of the Australian continent and its people, as told by Aboriginal storytellers. It recounts epic travels of the Great Spirit Ancestors and tells how they created animals and plants and gave birth to the people who formed the earliest population of the land. It tells, also, how the Ancestors taught the people how to live in harmony with nature and how to behave towards one another, thus setting the pattern of traditional Aboriginal culture which has survived for over 40,000 years
