The (Wanambi) Rainbow Serpent travels through the storm. The old people say that when you see a big bright lightning stretch across the sky, that’s Wanambi going to another water hole.

When we go on outings to water holes we know to treat that place with respect and be cautious as Wanambi is down below watching and waiting.

The lightning flashes and stretches across the sky during a storm. The old people say that it is (Wanambi) The Rainbow Serpent, who travels from water hole to water hole, where he waits and watches silently.

Kulu

All the animal’s had a big meeting.
Who was going to carry the egg of life up to the universe.
The Kulu was chosen.
When you see where the egg of life was carried
Meteorite has landed and dropped, split three ways.
This is our memory of the Kulu
And life began.

The 7 Sisters

Long ago there was Seven Sisters who came down to earth to have
a look around. They liked it here on earth and decided to stay.
One day a man noticed the Sisters and he wanted them for his wives.
He followed the Sisters everywhere trying hard to catch them, but the Sisters kept changing into animals and plants, for they did not want to be wives. The Sisters went back to the skies. You can see them at night all still together hiding from the man, who now became the Morning Star, still searching for them.
