Journey Into Dreamtime (Indigenous)

It is not generally well understood by non-Indigenous people and therefore, they often miss out on the wonderful learnings and legends that have an impact in understanding the past, present and future.The world of Dreamtime was way back in the very beginning where spirits created the land and the people. They made the plants and animals, the rivers, streams and waterholes.
