First Australians

• The first Australians were Aboriginals.

• They lived in Australia until captain Cook and his men came to Australia and took over the Aboriginals

Aboriginal Culture

My story is about a kangaroo that goes to get some water from a near by stream one of the campers sees him and tries to get him but the kangaroo gets away.

The origin of water 1. prediction:I think that a spirit made water come from the sky in a huge hole an aboriginal made with a spare. So every time a aboriginal dug a hole water would come. 2. Summarize:All the animals had no water to drink. but one day gudjirila (the Bandicot) sow bangarra (the blue tongue lizard) drying himself. So all the animals had a meting and chose gudilla to spy on him but he was to big so they had another meting and Chose Jiggirrjiggirr ( the willy wag tail) but his little black tail kept moving. So all the animals chose Gula (the rat) just then Middim (the ring tailed possum) said your are to small gula was heart so he ran to bangara rock. When bangara heard somone folloing him he looked to the left but gula jumped to the right when bangarra looked to the right gula jumped to the left when bangarra lifted the rock gula jumped out and scard him and bangarra ran away and all the animals splashed around and the king fisher and used his beke to make rivers and lakes

3. Feelings I think all the animals felt angry when they found out that bangarra had all of the water.

4. MoralSmall things can make a big difference
