Milbi : Aboriginal Stories from Queensland-s Endeavour River

A long time ago, on the Country of Guugu Yimithirr people, ancient creatures hunted, danced, played and gathered food. The Magpie brothers chased the giant Dingo; the greedy White Cockatoo stole food from two Night Owl sisters; Storm threw lightning at Frill Lizard; and Eagle walked on the ground. As they roamed about, they disturbed the land, making rivers, lagoons and mountains, spreading plants and changing the colour of animals creating the land we see today.

Tulo Gordon grew up on this Country and knew the old stories. A gifted storyteller and illustrator, Tulo Gordon retells them here in Guugu Yimithirr and English.
