The Aboriginal people of Australia tell stories about a mystical time known as Dreamtime. These stories help them remember old ways and explain mysterious events. They tell of ancient spirits that came to Earth. These spirits created plats, animals and landmarks.

“Long ago in the Time of Dreams when the world was being born, there lived a rough, tough Crocodile Man

He was huge and mean and scary, and he had one thing nobody else had.”

This is the story of the Aboriginal fire myth.
