In Dreamtime, the Great Rainbow Serpent, Goorialla, creator of this world, awakens, and goes in search of her people. In the wake of her travels, she creates the mountains, valleys, and rivers that we now recognize as Australia. But not only did she give the people the land, she gave them his spirit in the sky--the rainbows, and the shooting stars... This is the Serpent's story--filled with magic, and myth, and the "becoming of all things." Join us in the beautiful re-telling of this powerful creation story, and learn more about the mysterious country that is "the Land Down Under," Australia.
