Australian Aboriginal Art..

This srt is the work of Kim Peckham

and has been digitally enhanced by photography..

Barramundi..
Long ago in the dreamtime there were no fish and the people lived on animals,
roots and berries, they were all very happy..That is except Boodi and Yalima, for
they wanted to marry, but the tribe insisted Yalima marry one of the old men ,
to look after him. So Boodi and Yalima decided to run away and so they did.Now to
go against the elders of the tribe is breaking the law and punishable by death,so
the men of the tribe started hunting them. They ran on and on , although they became
very tired they had to keep going , soon they came to the edge of the land where
the water began and they knew to survive they would have to fight..With the angry
tribe descending upon them, they gathered as much wood and made as many spears as they
could.But the tribesmen were too many and soon the spears they had made were all gone,
Boodi turned to his beloved Yalima and said, for us to be together for ever we must go
into the water to live , and so they did.They are still there in the shape of Baramundi
hiding amongst the logs and reeds.
