- Artwork story
- This dreaming is about emu dreaming. The emus travel all over our country. The mother emus sit on the nest. The father emu is the one who teaches them. He teaches them to hunt for bush food. The families travel around. They run very fast and are hard to hunt. Before we eat them we cook them whole in the ashes.
