Lardil: Keepers of the Dreamtime
by David McKnight

I learned a huge amount about the Lardil, an aboriginal people who live on the Wellesley Islands off the coast of Australia.

For the Lardil, land is different. Myths are different. everything is different.

And yet at 61 pages, quite a bit of it photographs, I felt there was not an overwhelming burden of information to absorb. Still, it took me months to read through this slender volume. And I'd read it again, just to refresh my memory as to the Rainbow Serpent and the other dreamtime beings.

Interested? Grab your boomerangs and your didgeridou, and float over to Amazon.com tap into the power of the land and the Ancestral Dreamtime Beings.
