Acrylic Paint on canvas, stretched and ready to hang. Signed on the back. Among the stories from the Dreamtime of the Aboriginal People in many parts of Australia are a reference to giant animals that in many cases can be traced to fossils of animals that formed the megafauna of Australia. There are also mentions in some stories of what appears to be a time before much of the country reached the arid state it is now in.

Legend has it that there was a time in blackfellow land when the night came down like a black cloud and veiled the world in darkness letting neither moon nor stars be seen. But as Bohra liked to feed at night, he objected to this darkness. Being a great wirinun, he put an end to it by just rolling the darkness back as if it had been a rug and let it rest on the edge of the world while the stars and moon shone out. Bohra was very pleased with himself as he could now see to feed during the night and he could go about as he pleased on his four legs, for in those days Bohra went on all fours like a dog. One night as he was feeding, Bohra saw a number of fires ahead and heard sounds of many voices singing. As he got closer, he saw strangely ...

The Whale's AwakeningLong before there were men or animals in Australia, the only living things that had eyes to see the vast continent were the flocks of migratory birds. When they returned to their homeland they told the animals of the endless plains, the tree-covered mountains, the wide long rivers and the abundant vegetation of this delectable land. This created such excitement, so they all gathered from near and far and held a corroboree after which it was decided that they would all go to this new place to live. The problem was that the only vessel that was strong enough to hold them all at once was the one that belonged to the Whale and he would not lend his canoe to the animals. The animals decided to take the Whale's canoe by...

“We look to the “Morning Star, the first light, and remember Baiyami and Gyian the Whale’s journey from the Mirrabooka (the Milky Way) to spread the kinship system among all living things - as Baiyami descended upon the empty land he crushed the mountain of Yango and suddenly a light appeared in the eastern sky,

The emu in the sky. At the Elvina Engraving Site in the Kuring-Gai Chase National Park, Sydney, is an engraving of the emu in the sky, a constellation recognised by many Aboriginal groups across Australia, that is formed of dark clouds in the Milky Way, rather than the stars as in most constellations. When the constellation is above the carving in the rock the local Aboriginal People knew it was time to collect emu eggs. The head of the emu is the Coal Sack, the dark area near the Southern Cross, its neck passing through the stars called the pointers and the body is in the constellation of Scorpio. The male emu is of significance to the Aboriginal elders because like the male emu, that hatches its mate's eggs and the cares for the yo...

I am influenced by the wildlife around the outback of Australia I am a daughter of this land I am inspired by wildlife the colours of the Australian outback My love and compassion for all wildlife inspires me to create Australian wildlife paintings on canvas which is true enjoyment I was born Cynthia M. Marks in a small country town called Cunnamulla in South Western Queensland. My grandfather was born Thomas Hearn he was an aboriginal man and I loved listening to his stories of his life as a boy, around the Eulo, Warrigo area which is referred to by aboriginals as Bidjara and Kunja Tribes. He would especially described the wildlife that was abundant there, especially the parrots.

THE GOANNA (Milbili) The perentie (Nintaka) agreed to decorate the goanna for a ceremony. The perentie was a good artist, who took great care with his work. So he painted the goanna with great care and skill, painting fine lines and dots over the goanna's body. When the paint had dried, he turned the goanna over and using the thinnest of brushes and the greatest of care, painted extremely fine lines on his belly. The Perentie became jealous of the goanna beautiful colours and pattens so the perentie cursed the goanna and said that from now on he must live in the branches of trees and take shelter in the tree hollows, while he would use the rocks as his home and shelter. Today, you can see the two keep to their own habitats, still wea...
