Never fair to take land off them; they were here first.
Abounding emus collect bush tucker to share with kangaroos back home.
In the light of the moon, generations of Indigenous people create stories with ochre on rocks.
Damper smoking on fire while stories from long ago are being explained by elders.
Over sounds of Kookaburras cackling, blue forests of leaves crackle over fire.
Children are dancing around while always being amused by their culture.
