Guthi-Guthi

  Underline the words and expressions you understand :

This is the creation story of Ngiyaampaa country, as well as the land belonging to Eaglehawk and Crow.

Now long, long time ago of course, in the beginning, when there was no people, no trees, no plants whatever on this land, “Guthi-guthi”, the spirit of our ancestral being, he lived up in the sky.

So he came down and he wanted to create the special land for people and animals and birds to live in.

So Guthi-guthi came down and he went on creating the land for the people-after he’d set the borders in place and the sacred sights, the birthing places of all the Dreamings, where all our Dreamings were to come out of.

Guthi-guthi put one foot on Gunderbooka Mountain and another one at Mount Grenfell.

And he looked out over the land and he could see that the land was bare. There was no water in sight, there was nothing growing. So Guthi-guthi knew that trapped in a mountain-Mount Minara-the water serpent, Weowie, he was trapped in the mountain. So Guthi-guthi called out to him, “Weowie, Weowie”, but because Weowie was trapped right in the middle of the mountain, he couldn’t hear him.

Guthi-guthi went back up into the sky and he called out once more, “Weowie”, but once again Weowie didn’t respond. So Guthi-guthi came down with a roar like thunder and banged on the mountain and the mountain split open. Weowie the water serpent came out. And where the water serpent travelled he made waterholes and streams and depressions in the land.

So once all that was finished, of course, Weowie went back into the mountain to live and that’s where Weowie lives now, in Mount Minara. But then after that, they wanted another lot of water to come down from the north, throughout our country. Old Pundu, the Cod, it was his duty to drag and create the river known as the Darling River today.

So Cod came out with Mudlark, his little mate, and they set off from the north and they created the big river. Flows right down, water flows right throughout our country, right into the sea now.

And of course, this country was also created, the first two tribes put in our country were Eaglehawk and Crow. And from these two tribes came many tribal people, many tribes, and we call them sub-groups today. So my people, the Ngiyaampaa people and the Barkandji further down are all sub-groups of Eaglehawk and Crow.

So what I’m telling you-the stories that were handed down to me all come from within this country.

Once upon a time, when the desert was very hot, there were lots of kangaroos, lots of scarlet-chested parrots, lots of dingoes, lots of platypuses and lots of wombats. We could bike, we could jog and we could go rafting in the river! It was great! Just great! A wonderful world! Then ,the White Men arrived with their convicts and it was the beginning of our tragedies! Our water got polluted, our land was transformed into poor places  with dead fish!  It was hell on earth! Eventually, we asked a great magician and three wise people to help us. They finally convinced all the people to change their habits and the earth started changing into paradise!

The country was bigger than China. We just loved being the  first inhabitants: the Aborigenes!

There were also kangaroos and koalas everywhere in the country.

Koalas were protected and kangaroos were also given shelters …

But the white men arrived and it was the very beginning of tragedies: pollution could be seen everywhere!

Eventually, the land was protected just as in Amazonia! We found a magician who could stop the dishonest people!

They were no longer allowed to do what they wanted with our beautiful sand! They were not no longer allowed to throw

rockets in the sky!   We won the battle! Yes, we did!

Once upon a time, there were lots of very good friends who were having a great time together!

-Hello!

-Good afternoon!

-Let us hop on the bus! Let us walk past the rocks!

-Let us go to Australia on the campsite!

-Let us do that!

-Look at the snakes and the kangaroos! here they are!

-Well, unfortunately, there are no kangaroos! They’ve all gone!

-Now, let us go and have dinner!

-Greetings! All the best!

Australia is hot, as hot as Africa! But we love living there!

Noémy:

Once upon a time, there was a very beautiful sky and one of the most beautiful sun you  have ever seen!

There were also birds which were singing in the air! But it was a dangerous place to be! Yes, indeed, it was!

You had to be  be careful and avoid snakes! We just hopped on the bus in order to stay away from marsupials

which are less beautiful than kangaroos, because kangaroos  could be seen everywhere in Australia!

At night, one had to be very careful because one can  be bitten by snakes!

One had to  build shelters so that children could  sleep pleasantly and play and cook and clean up the dishes!

Then one had to  wake up and build up a fire because we wanted  to have sausages for lunch.

The sausage was  better than the fish!

In Australia, the sun was as  beautiful in the South as in the North! It was paradise!

There were  lots of places to visit. Finally, we went back to France and we left the kangaroos and koalas!

We eventually got the opportunity to take photographs of the big koalas. They looked great and so cute!

We had fun! Thanks, Australia!

-Hello!

-Hey! How are you today!

-I’ m fine! Thanks! How was your trip to Australia?

-Oh! That’s great!

-Go ahead! Tell me more about it!

-Alright! You hop off the bus and the land is just wonderful! You walk past the rocks, you have a picnic and paradise is at hand!

In the afternoon, you can watch marsupials but you must stay away from them… You have to be very careful!

You can build a shelter next to a campfire!

-That’s great!

-Well, we will speak about it later on, Mum is calling me! I must go!

-Goodbye! See you! Hugs and kisses, you are my best friend!

-Yes, good bye, sweetie!
