Dreamtime : aboriginal stories
1994
Book
Summary: Oodgeroo spent her child hood with her family on Stradbroke Island, off the Queensland coast. The first half of this book, Stories from Stradbroke, describes espisodes from her childhood days - some happy, some sad - and gives a memorable impression of life on the island and of a family proud of its Aboriginal heritage. The second part of the book, Stories from the Old and New Dreamtime, is made up of Aboriginal folklore which Oodgeroo recaled hearing as a child and of new stories written in traditional Aboriginal forms.
