Different Modes of Communication
The Aboriginal people believe that the earth and everything in it was made by their ancestral spirits. This is called the Dreamtime or the Dreaming. It was a time when the rivers, mountains, rocks, deserts and plants were made. The Dreamtime stories are an important part of the Aboriginal culture.
The Dreamtime is the Aboriginal understanding of the world, of it's creation, and it's great stories. The Dreamtime is the beginning of knowledge, from which came the laws of existence. The Dreaming world was the old time of the Ancestor Beings. They emerged from the earth at the time of the creation
