• 1:24
  backpack
• 1:27
  in
• 1:27
  today's
• 1:27
  imaginary
• 1:28
  journey.
• 1:28
  You're
• 1:29
  walking
• 1:29
  barefoot
• 1:30
  across
• 1:30
  the
• 1:30
  red
• 1:30
  earth
• 1:31
  of
• 1:31
  Australia.
• 1:33
  Can
• 1:33
  you
• 1:34
  feel
• 1:34
  it?
• 1:34
  The
• 1:35
  ground
• 1:35
  is
• 1:35
  warm
• 1:36
  under
• 1:36
  your
• 1:36
  toes,
• 1:37
  soft
• 1:38
  in
• 1:38
  some
• 1:38
  spots
• 1:39
  and
• 1:39
  a
• 1:39
  little
• 1:40
  crunchy
• 1:40
  in
• 1:40
  others.
• 1:41
  The
• 1:42
  sky
• 1:42
  above
• 1:42
  you
• 1:42
  stretches
• 1:43
  wide
• 1:43
  and
• 1:44
  blue,
• 1:44
  and
• 1:44
  the
• 1:45
  air
• 1:45
  smells
• 1:45
  like
• 1:46
  eucalyptus
• 1:47
  leaves
• 1:47
  and
• 1:48
  sunshine.
• 1:49
  You
• 1:49
  hear
• 1:49
  the
• 1:50
  distant
• 1:50
  cackle,
• 1:50
  cackle
• 1:51
  of
• 1:51
  a
• 1:51
  kookaburra,
• 1:52
  Australia's
• 1:53
  famous
• 1:54
  laughing
• 1:54
  bird.
• 2:00
  And
• 2:01
  somewhere
• 2:01
  nearby,
• 2:02
  a
• 2:02
  kangaroo
• 2:03
  thumps
• 2:03
  across
• 2:03
  the
• 2:04
  land
• 2:04
  with
• 2:04
  big
• 2:05
  bouncing
• 2:05
  hops.
• 2:07
  Tall
• 2:07
  trees
• 2:07
  sway
• 2:08
  gently
• 2:08
  in
• 2:08
  the
• 2:09
  breeze,
• 2:09
  and
• 2:09
  ancient
• 2:10
  rocks
• 2:10
  rise
• 2:11
  up
• 2:11
  from
• 2:11
  the
• 2:11
  earth.
• 2:11
  Like
• 2:12
  storytellers
• 2:13
  waiting
• 2:13
  to
• 2:13
  share
• 2:13
  their
• 2:14
  secrets,
• 2:15
  this
• 2:15
  place
• 2:16
  is
• 2:16
  alive
• 2:16
  with
• 2:17
  stories.
• 2:18
  As
• 2:18
  you're
• 2:19
  walking,
• 2:19
  you
• 2:19
  reach
• 2:20
  a
• 2:20
  winding
• 2:20
  river.
• 2:21
  Suddenly,
• 2:22
  the
• 2:22
  water
• 2:22
  begins
• 2:23
  to
• 2:23
  shimmer
• 2:23
  and
• 2:23
  swirl.
• 2:24
  You
• 2:25
  hear
• 2:25
  a
• 2:25
  deep
• 2:25
  voice
• 2:26
  say,
• 2:27
  I.
• 2:27
  Am
• 2:27
  the
• 2:27
  Rainbow
• 2:28
  Serpent,
• 2:29
  guardian
• 2:29
  of
• 2:29
  water
• 2:30
  and
• 2:30
  life.
• 2:31
  I
• 2:31
  carved
• 2:32
  rivers
• 2:32
  and
• 2:32
  shaped
• 2:33
  the
• 2:33
  land.
• 2:34
  If
• 2:35
  you
• 2:35
  wish
• 2:35
  to
• 2:35
  pass,
• 2:36
  tell
• 2:36
  me,
• 2:37
  what
• 2:37
  do
• 2:38
  rivers
• 2:38
  give
• 2:38
  to
• 2:39
  all
• 2:39
  creatures?
• 2:41
  Hmm.
• 2:42
  What
• 2:43
  do
• 2:43
  you
• 2:43
  think
• 2:44
  water
• 2:44
  gives
• 2:45
  to
• 2:45
  creatures.
• 2:57
  By
• 2:57
  providing
• 2:57
  things
• 2:58
  like
• 2:58
  water,
• 2:58
  food,
• 2:59
  and
• 2:59
  shelter?
• 3:00
  Rivers
• 3:01
  give
• 3:01
  life
• 3:02
  to
• 3:02
  many
• 3:02
  creatures.
• 3:04
  Rivers
• 3:04
  are
• 3:05
  life
• 3:05
  givers.
• 3:06
  You've
• 3:06
  earned
• 3:06
  your
• 3:07
  first
• 3:07
  belief
• 3:07
  stone,
• 3:08
  the
• 3:08
  Stone
• 3:08
  of
• 3:09
  Life.
• 3:10
  Place
• 3:10
  it
• 3:10
  in
• 3:10
  your
• 3:10
  belief
• 3:11
  backpack.
• 3:12
  We'll
• 3:13
  learn
• 3:13
  more
• 3:13
  about
• 3:14
  this
• 3:14
  special
• 3:14
  creature
• 3:15
  called
• 3:15
  the
• 3:16
  Rainbow
• 3:16
  Serpent
• 3:17
  later
• 3:17
  in
• 3:17
  the
• 3:17
  episode.
• 3:19
  As
• 3:19
  you
• 3:19
  continue
• 3:20
  walking,
• 3:20
  you
• 3:21
  come
• 3:21
  upon
• 3:21
  a
• 3:22
  large
• 3:23
  ancient
• 3:23
  tree
• 3:24
  covered
• 3:25
  in
• 3:25
  carvings.
• 3:26
  This
• 3:26
  is
• 3:27
  a
• 3:27
  meeting
• 3:27
  place
• 3:27
  for
• 3:28
  kangaroo,
• 3:29
  emu,
• 3:29
  and
• 3:30
  lizard.
• 3:31
  Each
• 3:31
  animal
• 3:32
  is
• 3:32
  going
• 3:32
  to
• 3:32
  tell
• 3:32
  you
• 3:32
  about
• 3:33
  the
• 3:33
  platypus,
• 3:34
  but
• 3:34
  only
• 3:34
  one
• 3:35
  is
• 3:35
  telling
• 3:35
  the
• 3:36
  truth.
• 3:36
  You'll
• 3:37
  need
• 3:37
  to
• 3:37
  decide
• 3:38
  who.
• 3:38
  Who
• 3:38
  is
• 3:39
  right?
• 3:40
  This
• 3:40
  is
• 3:40
  kangaroo.
• 3:41
  Trust
• 3:41
  me,
• 3:41
  the
• 3:42
  platypus
• 3:42
  is
• 3:42
  just
• 3:42
  a
• 3:42
  duck
• 3:43
  in
• 3:43
  disguise.
• 3:44
  Hello,
• 3:44
  emu.
• 3:45
  Here.
• 3:45
  The
• 3:45
  platypus
• 3:46
  was
• 3:46
  born
• 3:46
  from
• 3:47
  a
• 3:47
  duck
• 3:47
  and
• 3:47
  a
• 3:47
  water
• 3:47
  rat.
• 3:48
  As
• 3:49
  a
• 3:49
  lizard,
• 3:50
  I
• 3:50
  know
• 3:50
  that
• 3:50
  the
• 3:50
  platypus
• 3:51
  was
• 3:52
  made
• 3:52
  from
• 3:53
  magic
• 3:53
  pebbles.
• 3:55
  Which
• 3:55
  animal
• 3:56
  do
• 3:56
  you
• 3:56
  think
• 3:56
  is
• 3:56
  telling
• 3:57
  the
• 3:57
  truth?
• 3:59
  Kangaroo,
• 4:00
  emu
• 4:01
  or
• 4:02
  lizard?
• 4:14
  Did
• 4:14
  you
• 4:15
  choose
• 4:15
  the
• 4:15
  emu
• 4:16
  story?
• 4:17
  That's
• 4:17
  the
• 4:17
  right
• 4:18
  tale.
• 4:18
  The
• 4:19
  platypus's
• 4:20
  parents
• 4:20
  are
• 4:20
  a
• 4:20
  duck
• 4:21
  and
• 4:21
  a
• 4:21
  water
• 4:21
  rat.
• 4:22
  You've
• 4:23
  earned
• 4:23
  the
• 4:23
  belief
• 4:24
  stone
• 4:24
  of
• 4:24
  stories.
• 4:26
  Next,
• 4:26
  you
• 4:27
  keep
• 4:27
  walking
• 4:27
  and
• 4:28
  come
• 4:28
  to
• 4:28
  a
• 4:28
  peaceful
• 4:29
  clearing.
• 4:30
  In
• 4:30
  the
• 4:30
  distance,
• 4:31
  you
• 4:31
  see
• 4:31
  two
• 4:31
  animals.
• 4:32
  One
• 4:33
  is
• 4:33
  a
• 4:33
  koala
• 4:34
  resting
• 4:34
  in
• 4:35
  the
• 4:35
  trees,
• 4:36
  and
• 4:36
  the
• 4:36
  other
• 4:36
  is
• 4:36
  a
• 4:37
  dolphin
• 4:38
  swimming
• 4:38
  gracefully
• 4:39
  in
• 4:39
  the
• 4:39
  ocean.
• 4:40
  Koalas
• 4:41
  live
• 4:41
  high
• 4:41
  up
• 4:42
  in
• 4:42
  the
• 4:42
  trees
• 4:42
  and
• 4:43
  rely
• 4:43
  on
• 4:43
  the
• 4:43
  leaves
• 4:44
  for
• 4:44
  food.
• 4:45
  We
• 4:45
  know
• 4:45
  that
• 4:46
  everything
• 4:46
  is
• 4:46
  connected.
• 4:47
  If
• 4:47
  the
• 4:48
  trees
• 4:48
  fall,
• 4:48
  we
• 4:49
  all
• 4:49
  feel
• 4:49
  it.
• 4:53
  That
• 4:54
  sound
• 4:54
  at
• 4:54
  the
• 4:54
  end
• 4:55
  there
• 4:55
  is
• 4:55
  an
• 4:56
  actual
• 4:56
  koala.
• 4:57
  I
• 4:58
  had
• 4:58
  no
• 4:58
  idea
• 4:59
  they
• 4:59
  sounded
• 5:00
  like
• 5:00
  that
• 5:00
  until
• 5:00
  I
• 5:01
  met
• 5:01
  one
• 5:01
  for
• 5:01
  real.
• 5:02
  In
• 5:02
  Australia,
• 5:03
  dolphins
• 5:04
  swim
• 5:04
  through
• 5:04
  the
• 5:05
  oceans
• 5:05
  and
• 5:05
  we
• 5:06
  understand
• 5:06
  that
• 5:06
  the
• 5:06
  water
• 5:07
  connects
• 5:07
  us
• 5:07
  all.
• 5:08
  But
• 5:08
  we
• 5:09
  live
• 5:09
  separately
• 5:09
  from
• 5:10
  the
• 5:10
  land,
• 5:10
  and
• 5:10
  the
• 5:11
  land
• 5:11
  creatures
• 5:11
  are
• 5:12
  on
• 5:12
  their
• 5:12
  own.
• 5:15
  Now
• 5:15
  you
• 5:16
  have
• 5:16
  to
• 5:16
  decide.
• 5:17
  Which
• 5:17
  animal
• 5:18
  do
• 5:18
  you
• 5:19
  think
• 5:19
  understands
• 5:20
  the
• 5:20
  connection
• 5:21
  between
• 5:21
  all
• 5:22
  living
• 5:22
  things
• 5:22
  and
• 5:23
  Australian
• 5:23
  beliefs?
• 5:26
  Koala,
• 5:27
  who
• 5:27
  thinks
• 5:27
  everything
• 5:28
  is
• 5:28
  connected,
• 5:30
  or
• 5:30
  dolphin,
• 5:31
  who
• 5:31
  thinks
• 5:31
  just
• 5:32
  those
• 5:32
  things
• 5:32
  closest
• 5:33
  to
• 5:33
  them
• 5:33
  are
• 5:34
  connected?
• 5:46
  Did
• 5:46
  you
• 5:46
  choose
• 5:47
  the
• 5:47
  koala?
• 5:48
  That's
• 5:48
  the
• 5:49
  wisdom
• 5:49
  of
• 5:49
  the
• 5:49
  people
• 5:50
  of
• 5:50
  Australia.
• 5:51
  All
• 5:51
  life
• 5:51
  is
• 5:52
  connected,
• 5:53
  just
• 5:53
  like
• 5:53
  the
• 5:53
  koala
• 5:54
  and
• 5:54
  the
• 5:54
  trees.
• 5:55
  When
• 5:55
  one
• 5:56
  part
• 5:56
  of
• 5:56
  the
• 5:56
  web
• 5:57
  moves,
• 5:57
  everything
• 5:58
  else
• 5:58
  feels
• 5:58
  it.
• 5:59
  Now
• 6:00
  you've
• 6:00
  earned
• 6:00
  the
• 6:00
  belief
• 6:01
  stone
• 6:01
  of
• 6:01
  connection.
• 6:02
  Place
• 6:03
  it
• 6:03
  in
• 6:03
  your
• 6:03
  belief
• 6:04
  backpack.
• 6:05
  You've
• 6:05
  collected
• 6:06
  three
• 6:06
  belief
• 6:07
  stones,
• 6:08
  Life
• 6:09
  Stories
• 6:09
  and
• 6:10
  connection.
• 6:11
  These
• 6:11
  special
• 6:12
  stones
• 6:13
  hold
• 6:13
  the
• 6:13
  power
• 6:13
  of
• 6:14
  being
• 6:14
  passed
• 6:14
  down
• 6:15
  through
• 6:15
  generations.
• 6:16
  Stories
• 6:17
  that
• 6:17
  are
• 6:17
  thousands
• 6:18
  of
• 6:18
  years
• 6:18
  old.
• 6:19
  Let's
• 6:20
  keep
• 6:20
  exploring
• 6:21
  so
• 6:21
  we
• 6:21
  can
• 6:21
  learn
• 6:22
  more
• 6:22
  about
• 6:22
  these
• 6:23
  beliefs.
• 6:24
  The
• 6:24
  Indigenous
• 6:25
  Australians
• 6:26
  have
• 6:26
  cared
• 6:26
  for
• 6:26
  their
• 6:26
  land
• 6:27
  and
• 6:27
  honored
• 6:27
  their
• 6:28
  traditions
• 6:28
  for
• 6:28
  over
• 6:29
  65,000
• 6:30
  years.
• 6:31
  That's
• 6:31
  older
• 6:31
  than
• 6:31
  the
• 6:32
  pyramids
• 6:32
  of
• 6:32
  Egypt
• 6:33
  and
• 6:33
  even
• 6:34
  older
• 6:34
  than
• 6:34
  the
• 6:35
  invention
• 6:35
  of
• 6:36
  writing.
• 6:37
  Imagine
• 6:37
  a
• 6:38
  story
• 6:38
  being
• 6:38
  told
• 6:39
  by
• 6:39
  a
• 6:39
  parent
• 6:39
  to
• 6:40
  their
• 6:40
  child.
• 6:41
  Then
• 6:41
  that
• 6:41
  child
• 6:41
  grows
• 6:42
  up,
• 6:42
  becomes
• 6:43
  a
• 6:43
  parent
• 6:43
  and
• 6:43
  tells
• 6:43
  it
• 6:44
  to
• 6:44
  their
• 6:44
  child.
• 6:45
  Now,
• 6:45
  can
• 6:45
  you
• 6:46
  believe
• 6:46
  that
• 6:46
  happened
• 6:47
  over
• 6:47
  2,500
• 6:48
  times?
• 6:50
  But
• 6:50
  here's
• 6:50
  the
• 6:50
  cool
• 6:51
  part.
• 6:51
  Aboriginal
• 6:52
  peoples
• 6:53
  aren't
• 6:53
  just
• 6:54
  one
• 6:54
  group.
• 6:55
  There
• 6:55
  are
• 6:55
  over
• 6:56
  500
• 6:57
  different
• 6:57
  nations
• 6:58
  across
• 6:58
  Australia,
• 7:00
  each
• 7:00
  with
• 7:00
  their
• 7:00
  own
• 7:01
  language,
• 7:01
  stories,
• 7:02
  songs
• 7:02
  and
• 7:03
  ceremonies.
• 7:04
  That's
• 7:04
  like
• 7:05
  having
• 7:05
  500
• 7:06
  versions
• 7:07
  of
• 7:07
  how
• 7:07
  to
• 7:07
  understand
• 7:08
  the
• 7:08
  world.
• 7:10
  Think
• 7:10
  of
• 7:10
  it
• 7:10
  like
• 7:10
  this.
• 7:11
  Imagine
• 7:12
  if
• 7:12
  every
• 7:12
  neighborhood
• 7:13
  in
• 7:13
  your
• 7:13
  town
• 7:14
  had
• 7:14
  its
• 7:14
  own
• 7:14
  language,
• 7:15
  music
• 7:16
  and
• 7:16
  way
• 7:17
  of
• 7:17
  seeing
• 7:17
  the
• 7:17
  stars.
• 7:18
  That's
• 7:19
  a
• 7:19
  bit
• 7:19
  like
• 7:19
  how
• 7:20
  Aboriginal
• 7:20
  Australia
• 7:21
  is.
• 7:22
  Some
• 7:22
  groups
• 7:23
  live
• 7:23
  near
• 7:23
  the
• 7:24
  ocean
• 7:24
  and
• 7:24
  tell
• 7:24
  stories
• 7:25
  about
• 7:25
  sea
• 7:25
  creatures.
• 7:26
  While
• 7:27
  others
• 7:27
  live
• 7:27
  in
• 7:28
  the
• 7:28
  desert
• 7:28
  and
• 7:28
  share
• 7:29
  tales
• 7:29
  about
• 7:29
  the
• 7:30
  hot
• 7:30
  sun
• 7:30
  and
• 7:31
  red
• 7:31
  sand.
• 7:32
  Each
• 7:33
  of
• 7:33
  these
• 7:33
  nations
• 7:34
  has
• 7:34
  carefully
• 7:34
  protected
• 7:35
  their
• 7:35
  beliefs
• 7:36
  and
• 7:36
  traditions,
• 7:37
  passing
• 7:37
  them
• 7:38
  down
• 7:38
  from
• 7:38
  their
• 7:38
  grandparents
• 7:39
  to
• 7:40
  parents,
• 7:40
  to
• 7:41
  children,
• 7:41
  keeping
• 7:42
  them
• 7:42
  alive
• 7:42
  and
• 7:43
  strong
• 7:43
  even
• 7:44
  today.
• 7:45
  They
• 7:45
  have
• 7:45
  their
• 7:46
  own
• 7:46
  special
• 7:46
  ways
• 7:47
  of
• 7:47
  making
• 7:48
  art.
• 7:48
  Their
• 7:49
  own
• 7:49
  songs
• 7:50
  and
• 7:50
  their
• 7:50
  own
• 7:50
  dances
• 7:51
  that
• 7:51
  tell
• 7:52
  important
• 7:52
  stories
• 7:53
  about
• 7:53
  their
• 7:53
  land
• 7:54
  and
• 7:54
  their
• 7:54
  beliefs.
• 7:56
  Aboriginal
• 7:57
  people
• 7:57
  believe
• 7:57
  in
• 7:58
  something
• 7:58
  truly
• 7:58
  magical
• 7:59
  called
• 7:59
  the
• 8:00
  dreaming.
• 8:00
  But
• 8:01
  don't
• 8:01
  think
• 8:01
  of
• 8:01
  it
• 8:01
  like
• 8:02
  the
• 8:02
  dreams
• 8:02
  you
• 8:02
  have
• 8:03
  at
• 8:03
  night.
• 8:04
  The
• 8:04
  dreaming
• 8:04
  isn't
• 8:05
  just
• 8:05
  a
• 8:05
  collection
• 8:05
  of
• 8:06
  stories
• 8:06
  from
• 8:06
  long
• 8:06
  ago.
• 8:07
  It's
• 8:08
  happening
• 8:08
  right
• 8:08
  now.
• 8:09
  All
• 8:09
  around
• 8:10
  us.
• 8:11
  Imagine
• 8:11
  time
• 8:12
  as
• 8:12
  a
• 8:12
  big
• 8:12
  circle
• 8:13
  instead
• 8:13
  of
• 8:14
  a
• 8:14
  straight
• 8:14
  line.
• 8:15
  An
• 8:15
  Aboriginal
• 8:16
  understanding
• 8:17
  the
• 8:17
  past,
• 8:18
  present
• 8:18
  and
• 8:18
  future
• 8:19
  are
• 8:19
  all
• 8:20
  connected,
• 8:20
  like
• 8:21
  a
• 8:21
  never
• 8:21
  ending
• 8:22
  loop.
• 8:23
  The
• 8:23
  dreaming
• 8:23
  is
• 8:24
  always
• 8:24
  with
• 8:24
  us,
• 8:25
  shaping
• 8:25
  our
• 8:26
  world
• 8:26
  every
• 8:27
  single
• 8:27
  day.
• 8:28
  When
• 8:28
  Aboriginal
• 8:29
  people
• 8:29
  care
• 8:30
  for
• 8:30
  the
• 8:30
  land,
• 8:30
  perform
• 8:31
  ceremonies,
• 8:32
  or
• 8:32
  tell
• 8:32
  these
• 8:33
  ancient
• 8:33
  stories,
• 8:34
  they're
• 8:34
  not
• 8:35
  just
• 8:35
  remembering
• 8:35
  the
• 8:36
  past.
• 8:37
  They're
• 8:37
  actively
• 8:38
  participating
• 8:38
  in
• 8:38
  the
• 8:39
  dreaming
• 8:39
  today.
• 8:40
  In
• 8:40
  the
• 8:41
  dreaming,
• 8:41
  we're
• 8:42
  all
• 8:42
  part
• 8:42
  of
• 8:42
  something
• 8:42
  much
• 8:43
  bigger
• 8:43
  than
• 8:43
  ourselves.
• 8:44
  It's
• 8:45
  like
• 8:45
  a
• 8:45
  giant
• 8:45
  web
• 8:46
  that
• 8:46
  connects
• 8:46
  people,
• 8:47
  animals,
• 8:48
  plants
• 8:48
  and
• 8:49
  the
• 8:49
  land,
• 8:50
  not
• 8:50
  just
• 8:50
  in
• 8:51
  stories,
• 8:52
  but
• 8:52
  in
• 8:52
  real
• 8:53
  life,
• 8:53
  every
• 8:54
  single
• 8:54
  day.
• 8:55
  And
• 8:55
  just
• 8:55
  like
• 8:56
  a
• 8:56
  web,
• 8:56
  if
• 8:56
  you
• 8:57
  touch
• 8:57
  one
• 8:57
  part,
• 8:58
  the
• 8:58
  whole
• 8:58
  thing
• 8:59
  moves.
• 9:00
  Everything
• 9:00
  is
• 9:00
  connected
• 9:01
  to
• 9:01
  everything
• 9:02
  else.
• 9:03
  Aboriginal
• 9:04
  peoples
• 9:05
  have
• 9:05
  many
• 9:05
  different
• 9:05
  stories
• 9:06
  about
• 9:06
  creation.
• 9:07
  These
• 9:08
  stories
• 9:08
  help
• 9:08
  explain
• 9:09
  the
• 9:09
  world
• 9:09
  and
• 9:09
  people's
• 9:10
  place
• 9:10
  in
• 9:10
  it.
• 9:11
  Imagine
• 9:12
  the
• 9:12
  time
• 9:12
  when
• 9:12
  the
• 9:13
  earth
• 9:13
  was
• 9:13
  dark
• 9:14
  and
• 9:14
  flat,
• 9:15
  waiting
• 9:15
  to
• 9:16
  be
• 9:16
  shaped.
• 9:17
  The
• 9:17
  ancestor
• 9:18
  spirits
• 9:18
  emerged
• 9:19
  and
• 9:19
  began
• 9:20
  their
• 9:20
  great
• 9:20
  work.
• 9:21
  Their
• 9:21
  footsteps
• 9:22
  created
• 9:23
  valleys,
• 9:24
  their
• 9:25
  resting
• 9:25
  places
• 9:26
  became
• 9:26
  mountains.
• 9:27
  And
• 9:28
  their
• 9:28
  songs
• 9:29
  brought
• 9:29
  life
• 9:30
  to
• 9:30
  plants
• 9:30
  and
• 9:31
  animals.
• 9:32
  Some
• 9:32
  ancestor
• 9:33
  spirits
• 9:34
  could
• 9:34
  change
• 9:34
  their
• 9:34
  shape,
• 9:35
  sometimes
• 9:36
  as
• 9:36
  giant
• 9:37
  animals,
• 9:38
  sometimes
• 9:38
  as
• 9:39
  people,
• 9:39
  and
• 9:40
  sometimes
• 9:41
  both
• 9:41
  at
• 9:42
  once.
• 9:43
  They
• 9:43
  created
• 9:44
  the
• 9:44
  sun,
• 9:44
  the
• 9:45
  moon
• 9:45
  and
• 9:45
  the
• 9:46
  stars.
• 9:47
  They
• 9:47
  showed
• 9:47
  us
• 9:47
  how
• 9:47
  the
• 9:48
  wind
• 9:48
  blows,
• 9:49
  why
• 9:49
  the
• 9:49
  rain
• 9:49
  falls,
• 9:50
  and
• 9:51
  why
• 9:51
  the
• 9:51
  seasons
• 9:51
  change.
• 9:53
  They
• 9:53
  taught
• 9:53
  us
• 9:54
  that
• 9:54
  all
• 9:54
  living
• 9:55
  things
• 9:55
  are
• 9:55
  related,
• 9:56
  like
• 9:56
  one
• 9:57
  big
• 9:57
  family.
• 9:59
  Let's
• 9:59
  add
• 10:00
  these
• 10:00
  creation
• 10:00
  stories
• 10:01
  to
• 10:01
  our
• 10:01
  belief
• 10:02
  backpack.
• 10:03
  They
• 10:03
  remind
• 10:03
  us
• 10:03
  that
• 10:04
  everything
• 10:04
  in
• 10:04
  nature
• 10:05
  has
• 10:05
  a
• 10:05
  purpose
• 10:06
  and
• 10:06
  spirit.
• 10:07
  Rocks
• 10:07
  aren't
• 10:08
  just
• 10:08
  rocks.
• 10:08
  They
• 10:09
  could
• 10:09
  be
• 10:09
  sleeping
• 10:09
  ancestor
• 10:10
  spirits.
• 10:11
  The
• 10:11
  wind
• 10:12
  isn't
• 10:12
  just
• 10:12
  moving
• 10:13
  air.
• 10:13
  It
• 10:14
  could
• 10:14
  be
• 10:14
  carrying
• 10:14
  messages
• 10:15
  from
• 10:15
  the
• 10:15
  dreaming.
• 10:17
  Every
• 10:17
  animal
• 10:18
  and
• 10:18
  every
• 10:18
  plant,
• 10:19
  every
• 10:20
  star
• 10:20
  in
• 10:20
  the
• 10:20
  sky
• 10:21
  has
• 10:21
  its
• 10:21

  helps

  explain
• 10:23
  its
• 10:23
  special
• 10:24
  place
• 10:24
  in
• 10:24
  the
• 10:24
  world.
• 10:25
  Aboriginal
• 10:26
  cultures
• 10:27
  also
• 10:27
  teach
• 10:27
  us
• 10:27
  that
• 10:28
  we
• 10:28
  belong
• 10:28
  to
• 10:28
  the
• 10:29
  land.
• 10:29
  The
• 10:30
  land
• 10:30
  doesn't
• 10:31
  belong
• 10:31
  to
• 10:32
  us.
• 10:33
  They
• 10:33
  teach
• 10:33
  us
• 10:33
  to
• 10:33
  live
• 10:34
  in
• 10:34
  balance
• 10:34
  with
• 10:34
  nature
• 10:35
  and
• 10:36
  to
• 10:36
  share
• 10:36
  resources.
• 10:38
  Let's
• 10:38
  think
• 10:38
  for
• 10:39
  a
• 10:39
  moment.
• 10:40
  Do
• 10:40
  you
• 10:40
  recycle?
• 10:42
  Do
• 10:42
  you
• 10:42
  say
• 10:42
  thank
• 10:43
  you
• 10:43
  to
• 10:43
  the
• 10:43
  earth
• 10:43
  when
• 10:43
  you
• 10:44
  pick
• 10:44
  a
• 10:44
  flower
• 10:44
  or
• 10:44
  eat
• 10:45
  a
• 10:45
  fruit?
• 10:46
  Do
• 10:46
  you
• 10:46
  treat
• 10:47
  animals
• 10:47
  kindly
• 10:49
  when
• 10:49
  you
• 10:49
  do
• 10:49
  these
• 10:50
  things?
• 10:50
  Or
• 10:50
  others
• 10:51
  like
• 10:51
  them.
• 10:52
  You're
• 10:52
  already
• 10:53
  living
• 10:53
  like
• 10:54
  many
• 10:54
  Aboriginal
• 10:55
  peoples
• 10:55
  do.
• 10:56
  You're
• 10:56
  caring
• 10:57
  for
• 10:57
  the
• 10:57
  earth
• 10:58
  as
• 10:58
  a
• 10:58
  sacred,
• 10:59
  living
• 10:59
  being.
• 11:02
  Now,
• 11:02
  as
• 11:02
  I
• 11:02
  promised
• 11:02
  before,
• 11:03
  I'm
• 11:03
  going
• 11:03
  to
• 11:03
  tell
• 11:04
  you
• 11:04
  more
• 11:04
  about
• 11:04
  Rainbow
• 11:05
  Serpent.
• 11:06
  As
• 11:06
  I
• 11:06
  tell
• 11:06
  the
• 11:07
  story,
• 11:07
  imagine
• 11:08
  the
• 11:08
  scenes
• 11:08
  unfolding
• 11:09
  in
• 11:09
  your
• 11:09
  mind.
• 11:10
  In
• 11:11
  the
• 11:11
  beginning,
• 11:11
  the
• 11:11
  earth
• 11:11
  was
• 11:12
  completely
• 11:12
  flat,
• 11:13
  silent
• 11:13
  and
• 11:14
  still.
• 11:15
  Nothing
• 11:15
  moved,
• 11:16
  nothing
• 11:17
  grew,
• 11:17
  no
• 11:18
  water
• 11:18
  flowed
• 11:19
  and
• 11:19
  no
• 11:19
  rain
• 11:20
  fell.
• 11:21
  Deep
• 11:21
  underground
• 11:22
  lived
• 11:23
  the
• 11:23
  Rainbow
• 11:23
  Serpent,
• 11:24
  sleeping
• 11:25
  and
• 11:25
  waiting.
• 11:26
  This
• 11:27
  enormous
• 11:27
  creature
• 11:28
  was
• 11:28
  so
• 11:29
  big
• 11:29
  that
• 11:29
  its
• 11:30
  body
• 11:30
  formed
• 11:30
  huge
• 11:31
  ridges
• 11:31
  and
• 11:32
  mountains
• 11:32
  whenever
• 11:33
  it
• 11:33
  coiled
• 11:33
  beneath
• 11:34
  the
• 11:34
  surface.
• 11:35
  Now,
• 11:36
  let's
• 11:36
  pause
• 11:36
  for
• 11:36
  a
• 11:36
  moment.
• 11:37
  Close
• 11:38
  your
• 11:38
  eyes
• 11:38
  and
• 11:38
  picture
• 11:39
  this
• 11:39
  flat,
• 11:40
  quiet
• 11:41
  world.
• 11:42
  Can
• 11:42
  you
• 11:42
  feel
• 11:43
  how
• 11:43
  still
• 11:44
  everything
• 11:44
  is?
• 11:46
  Now,
• 11:46
  put
• 11:46
  your
• 11:46
  arms
• 11:47
  by
• 11:47
  your
• 11:47
  sides
• 11:47
  and
• 11:48
  slowly
• 11:48
  wiggle
• 11:49
  them
• 11:49
  like
• 11:49
  a
• 11:49
  snake.
• 11:51
  This
• 11:51
  is
• 11:51
  how
• 11:51
  the
• 11:51
  Rainbow
• 11:52
  Serpent
• 11:53
  moved.
• 11:53
  Because
• 11:54
  serpent
• 11:54
  is
• 11:55
  another
• 11:55
  word
• 11:55
  for
• 11:56
  snake.
• 11:57
  One
• 11:58
  day,
• 11:58
  the
• 11:58
  Rainbow
• 11:59
  Serpent
• 11:59
  finally
• 12:00
  awoke
• 12:00
  from
• 12:00
  its
• 12:00
  long
• 12:01
  sleep
• 12:01
  and
• 12:01
  pushed
• 12:02
  its
• 12:02
  way
• 12:02
  up
• 12:02
  through
• 12:03
  the
• 12:03
  ground.
• 12:04
  As
• 12:04
  it
• 12:04
  moved
• 12:05
  across
• 12:05
  the
• 12:05
  land,
• 12:06
  its
• 12:06
  massive
• 12:06
  body
• 12:07
  carved
• 12:07
  out
• 12:07
  valleys
• 12:08
  and
• 12:08
  and
• 12:09
  rivers.
• 12:10
  Wherever
• 12:10
  it
• 12:11
  slithered,
• 12:11
  water
• 12:12
  flowed
• 12:12
  behind
• 12:12
  it,
• 12:13
  filling
• 12:14
  the
• 12:14
  deep
• 12:14
  tracks
• 12:15
  it
• 12:15
  left
• 12:15
  behind.
• 12:16
  The
• 12:17
  Rainbow
• 12:17
  Serpent
• 12:18
  continued
• 12:18
  its
• 12:18
  journey,
• 12:19
  spreading
• 12:19
  water
• 12:20
  across
• 12:20
  the
• 12:20
  land.
• 12:21
  Sometimes
• 12:22
  it
• 12:22
  would
• 12:22
  get
• 12:22
  angry
• 12:23
  and
• 12:23
  cause
• 12:24
  great
• 12:24
  storms
• 12:25
  and
• 12:26
  floods.
• 12:27
  Other
• 12:27
  times,
• 12:27
  it
• 12:28
  moved
• 12:28
  gently,
• 12:29
  creating
• 12:29
  peaceful
• 12:30
  streams
• 12:31
  and
• 12:31
  lakes.
• 12:32
  As
• 12:32
  the
• 12:33
  water
• 12:33
  spread,
• 12:34
  plants
• 12:34
  began
• 12:35
  to
• 12:35
  grow
• 12:35
  and
• 12:36
  the
• 12:36
  land
• 12:36
  became
• 12:37
  green
• 12:37
  and
• 12:37
  alive.
• 12:39
  Let's
• 12:39
  use
• 12:40
  our
• 12:40
  arms
• 12:40
  again.
• 12:41
  Raise
• 12:41
  them
• 12:41
  up
• 12:42
  high
• 12:42
  and
• 12:42
  wave
• 12:43
  them
• 12:43
  like
• 12:43
  tall
• 12:44
  grass
• 12:44
  swaying
• 12:45
  in
• 12:45
  the
• 12:45
  wind.
• 12:47
  This
• 12:47
  is
• 12:47
  how
• 12:47
  the
• 12:47
  earth
• 12:48
  came
• 12:48
  alive,
• 12:48
  thanks
• 12:49
  to
• 12:49
  the
• 12:49
  Rainbow
• 12:49
  Serpent's
• 12:50
  water.
• 12:51
  Soon,
• 12:51
  the
• 12:51
  Rainbow
• 12:52
  Serpent
• 12:52
  called
• 12:52
  to
• 12:53
  all
• 12:53
  the
• 12:53
  other
• 12:53
  animals
• 12:54
  who
• 12:54
  were
• 12:54
  hiding.
• 12:55
  As
• 12:55
  rocks
• 12:55
  and
• 12:56
  plants
• 12:57
  come,
• 12:58
  it
• 12:59
  shouted.
• 13:00
  Come
• 13:00
  out
• 13:00
  and
• 13:00
  play
• 13:00
  in
• 13:01
  this
• 13:01
  beautiful
• 13:02
  world.
• 13:03
  One
• 13:04
  by
• 13:04
  one,
• 13:04
  the
• 13:04
  animals
• 13:05
  emerged.
• 13:06
  Frogs
• 13:06
  came
• 13:06
  out
• 13:06
  and
• 13:07
  started
• 13:07
  making
• 13:07
  music
• 13:08
  with
• 13:08
  their
• 13:08
  croaking.
• 13:09
  Birds
• 13:10
  flew
• 13:10
  into
• 13:10
  the
• 13:10
  sky.
• 13:11
  For
• 13:11
  the
• 13:11
  first
• 13:11
  time,
• 13:12
  kangaroos
• 13:13
  began
• 13:13
  hopping
• 13:14
  across
• 13:14
  the
• 13:15
  plains.
• 13:16
  The
• 13:16
  Rainbow
• 13:16
  Serpent
• 13:17
  made
• 13:17
  laws
• 13:17
  that
• 13:18
  all
• 13:18
  the
• 13:18
  animals
• 13:18
  had
• 13:19
  to
• 13:19
  follow.
• 13:20
  The
• 13:20
  most
• 13:20
  important
• 13:21
  law
• 13:21
  was
• 13:22
  to
• 13:22
  always
• 13:22
  share
• 13:23
  water
• 13:23
  with
• 13:24
  others.
• 13:25
  It
• 13:25
  taught
• 13:25
  them
• 13:26
  that
• 13:26
  water
• 13:26
  is
• 13:26
  precious
• 13:28
  and
• 13:28
  gives
• 13:28
  life
• 13:28
  to
• 13:29
  everything.
• 13:30
  Take
• 13:31
  a
• 13:31
  moment
• 13:31
  now
• 13:31
  and
• 13:32
  think
• 13:32
  about
• 13:32
  how
• 13:32
  important
• 13:33
  water
• 13:33
  is
• 13:34
  in
• 13:34
  your
• 13:34
  life.
• 13:36
  Even
• 13:36
  today,
• 13:37
  many
• 13:37
  Aboriginal
• 13:38
  peoples
• 13:39
  believe
• 13:39
  the
• 13:39
  Rainbow
• 13:40
  Serpent
• 13:40
  still
• 13:41
  lives
• 13:41
  in
• 13:41
  deep
• 13:42
  waterholes,
• 13:43
  protecting
• 13:44
  the
• 13:44
  water
• 13:44
  and
• 13:44
  watching
• 13:45
  over
• 13:45
  the
• 13:45
  land.
• 13:46
  When
• 13:47
  they
• 13:47
  see
• 13:47
  a
• 13:47
  rainbow
• 13:48
  in
• 13:48
  the
• 13:48
  sky,
• 13:49
  they
• 13:49
  remember
• 13:49
  this
• 13:50
  powerful
• 13:50
  creator
• 13:51
  spirit
• 13:52
  who
• 13:52
  brought
• 13:52
  water
• 13:53
  and
• 13:53
  life
• 13:53
  to
• 13:53
  their
• 13:54
  country.
• 13:55
  And
• 13:55
  here's
• 13:56
  something
• 13:56
  really
• 13:56
  amazing.
• 13:58
  Scientists
• 13:58
  have
• 13:59
  discovered
• 13:59
  that
• 14:00
  many
• 14:00
  of
• 14:00
  the
• 14:00
  places
• 14:01
  where
• 14:01
  Aboriginal
• 14:02
  people
• 14:03
  say
• 14:03
  the
• 14:03
  Rainbow
• 14:04
  Serpent
• 14:04
  traveled
• 14:05
  are
• 14:06
  actually
• 14:06
  ancient
• 14:07
  waterways.
• 14:08
  This
• 14:09
  shows
• 14:09
  us
• 14:09
  how
• 14:09
  these
• 14:10
  stories
• 14:10
  don't
• 14:11
  just
• 14:11
  teach
• 14:11
  important
• 14:12
  lessons.
• 14:13
  They
• 14:13
  also
• 14:14
  hold
• 14:14
  real
• 14:15
  knowledge
• 14:15
  about
• 14:16
  the
• 14:16
  land
• 14:16
  that
• 14:17
  has
• 14:17
  been
• 14:17
  passed
• 14:18
  down
• 14:18
  for
• 14:18
  thousands
• 14:19
  of
• 14:19
  years.
• 14:21
  The
• 14:22
  Rainbow
• 14:22
  Serpent
• 14:23
  teaches
• 14:23
  us
• 14:23
  the
• 14:23
  Importance
• 14:24
  of
• 14:24
  sharing
• 14:25
  and
• 14:25
  respecting
• 14:26
  nature's
• 14:26
  power.
• 14:27
  If
• 14:27
  we
• 14:28
  don't
• 14:28
  care
• 14:28
  for
• 14:28
  water
• 14:29
  or
• 14:29
  the
• 14:29
  land,
• 14:30
  we
• 14:30
  might
• 14:31
  lose
• 14:31
  the
• 14:31
  balance
• 14:32
  that
• 14:32
  gives
• 14:32
  life
• 14:33
  to
• 14:33
  everything.
• 14:35
  Let's
• 14:35
  journey
• 14:36
  together
• 14:36
  to
• 14:36
  one
• 14:36
  of
• 14:36
  the
• 14:37
  most
• 14:37
  sacred
• 14:37
  places
• 14:38
  in
• 14:38
  all
• 14:38
  of
• 14:38
  Australia.
• 14:40
  Uluru.
• 14:41
  Uluru,
• 14:42
  or
• 14:42
  you
• 14:42
  might
• 14:42
  also
• 14:42
  hear
• 14:43
  it
• 14:43
  called
• 14:43
  Ayers
• 14:44
  Rock,
• 14:44
  is
• 14:44
  a
• 14:45
  giant
• 14:45
  red
• 14:45
  rock
• 14:46
  that
• 14:46

  Uluru

  is

  much

  more

  than

  just

  a

  beautiful

  formation.
• 15:06
  It's

  a

  where

  Uluru

  and

  ancient

• 15:16
  They're

  sacred
• 15:16
  spaces
• 15:17
  where
• 15:17
  important
• 15:18
  ceremonies
• 15:18
  have

  taken

  place

  for

  thousands

  of

  years.
• 15:21
  The

  Arunanguru
• 15:22
  people
• 15:23
  still
• 15:23
  come
• 15:23
  here
• 15:23
  to
• 15:24
  these
• 15:24
  places
• 15:25
  to
• 15:25
  teach
• 15:25
  their
• 15:25
  children
• 15:26
  about
• 15:27
  their
• 15:27
  culture
• 15:28
  and
• 15:28
  perform
• 15:28
  ceremonies
• 15:29
  that
• 15:29
  their
• 15:30
  ancestors
• 15:30
  have
• 15:31
  done
• 15:31
  for
• 15:31
  generations.
• 15:32
  The
• 15:33
  Arangu
• 15:34
  people
• 15:34
  still
• 15:34
  have
• 15:35
  a
• 15:35
  special
• 15:35
  belief
• 15:35
  about
• 15:36
  climbing
• 15:36
  Uluru.
• 15:37
  To
• 15:37
  them,
• 15:38
  the
• 15:38
  path
• 15:38
  that
• 15:38
  many
• 15:39
  tourists
• 15:39
  used
• 15:39
  to
• 15:40
  climb
• 15:40
  follows
• 15:40
  a
• 15:41
  sacred
• 15:41
  ceremonial
• 15:42
  route
• 15:43
  taken
• 15:43
  by
• 15:43
  their
• 15:43
  ancestral
• 15:44
  spirits.
• 15:46
  That's
• 15:46
  why
• 15:46
  they
• 15:46
  asked
• 15:47
  people
• 15:47
  to
• 15:47
  stop
• 15:47
  climbing
• 15:48
  it
• 15:48
  and
• 15:48
  now
• 15:49
  it's
• 15:49
  no
• 15:49
  longer
• 15:49
  allowed.
• 15:51
  This
• 15:51
  teaches
• 15:51
  us
• 15:51
  an
• 15:52
  important
• 15:52
  lesson
• 15:52
  about
• 15:53
  respecting
• 15:53
  sacred
• 15:54
  places
• 15:54
  and
• 15:55
  the
• 15:55
  beliefs
• 15:55
  of
• 15:56
  others.
• 15:57
  So
• 15:57
  if
• 15:57
  we
• 15:57
  ever
• 15:57
  go
• 15:58
  there,
• 15:58
  we'll
• 15:59
  walk
• 15:59
  where
• 15:59
  we're
• 15:59
  allowed.
• 16:00
  Gently.
• 16:01
  Listen
• 16:02
  carefully
• 16:03
  and
• 16:03
  always
• 16:03
  remember
• 16:04
  that
• 16:04
  Uluru
• 16:05
  is
• 16:05
  not
• 16:06
  just
• 16:06
  a
• 16:06
  rock.
• 16:07
  It's
• 16:07
  a
• 16:07
  living
• 16:08
  part
• 16:08
  of
• 16:08
  a
• 16:08
  very
• 16:09
  old
• 16:09
  and
• 16:09
  special
• 16:10
  culture.
• 16:11
  Lets
• 16:11
  take
• 16:12
  a
• 16:12
  moment
• 16:12
  to
• 16:12
  imagine
• 16:13
  we're
• 16:13
  standing
• 16:13
  near
• 16:14
  Uluru.
• 16:14
  At
• 16:14
  sunset,
• 16:15
  the
• 16:16
  rock
• 16:16
  glows
• 16:17
  like
• 16:17
  it's
• 16:17
  on
• 16:17
  fire
• 16:18
  as
• 16:18
  the
• 16:18
  sun's
• 16:19
  rays
• 16:19
  hit
• 16:21
  changes
• 16:21
  from
• 16:22
  bright
• 16:22
  orange
• 16:22
  to
• 16:23
  deep
• 16:23
  red
• 16:24
  to
• 16:24
  purple.
• 16:25
  Place
• 16:26
  your
• 16:26
  hand
• 16:26
  over
• 16:27
  your
• 16:27
  heart
• 16:27
  and
• 16:28
  feel
• 16:28
  its
• 16:28
  beating.
• 16:29
  This
• 16:30
  is
• 16:30
  how
• 16:30
  the
• 16:30
  Aboriginal
• 16:31
  people
• 16:32
  say
• 16:32
  Uluru
• 16:33
  feels
• 16:33
  like
• 16:34
  a
• 16:34
  living,
• 16:35
  breathing
• 16:36
  part
• 16:37
  of
• 16:37
  their
• 16:37
  land
• 16:37
  and
• 16:38
  culture.
• 16:39
  Now
• 16:40
  that
• 16:40
  we've
• 16:40
  explored
• 16:41
  so
• 16:41
  much
• 16:41
  about
• 16:42
  Aboriginal
• 16:42
  beliefs,
• 16:43
  let's
• 16:44
  take
• 16:44
  a
• 16:44
  moment
• 16:44
  to
• 16:44
  build
• 16:45
  our
• 16:45
  friendship
• 16:45
  bridge
• 16:46
  with
• 16:46
  our
• 16:46
  Aboriginal
• 16:47
  friends.
• 16:48
  That
• 16:49
  special
• 16:49
  connection
• 16:50
  that
• 16:50
  helps
• 16:51
  us
• 16:51
  understand
• 16:52
  beliefs
• 16:52
  different
• 16:53
  from
• 16:53
  our
• 16:53
  own.
• 16:54
  Take
• 16:54
  a
• 16:55
  deep
• 16:55
  breath
• 16:55
  with
• 16:56
  me
• 16:57
  and
• 16:58
  let's
• 16:58
  think
• 16:58
  about
• 16:58
  everything
• 16:59
  we've
• 16:59
  learned
• 17:00
  today.
• 17:01
  Remember
• 17:01
  how
• 17:01
  the
• 17:02
  Aboriginal
• 17:02
  people
• 17:03
  see
• 17:03
  everything
• 17:03
  as
• 17:04
  connected.
• 17:05
  The
• 17:05
  land,
• 17:05
  the
• 17:06
  stories,
• 17:06
  the
• 17:07
  people,
• 17:07
  the
• 17:07
  animals.
• 17:09
  They're
• 17:09
  all
• 17:09
  part
• 17:10
  of
• 17:10
  one
• 17:10
  big
• 17:11
  beautiful
• 17:11
  web
• 17:12
  of
• 17:12
  life.
• 17:13
  Think
• 17:13
  about
• 17:14
  your
• 17:14
  own
• 17:14
  life
• 17:15
  for
• 17:15
  a
• 17:15
  moment.
• 17:16
  What
• 17:16
  connections
• 17:17
  do
• 17:17
  you
• 17:17
  see
• 17:17
  around
• 17:18
  you?
• 17:19
  Maybe
• 17:19
  it's
• 17:20
  the
• 17:20
  way
• 17:20
  your
• 17:20
  family
• 17:21
  takes
• 17:21
  care
• 17:21
  of
• 17:21
  each
• 17:22
  other
• 17:22
  or
• 17:23
  how
• 17:23
  the
• 17:23
  plants
• 17:23
  in
• 17:24
  your
• 17:24
  garden
• 17:24
  need
• 17:25
  the
• 17:25
  sun
• 17:25
  and
• 17:25
  rain
• 17:26
  to
• 17:26
  grow.
• 17:27
  Put
• 17:27
  your
• 17:28
  hand
• 17:28
  on
• 17:28
  your
• 17:28
  heart
• 17:28
  and
• 17:29
  think
• 17:29
  about
• 17:29
  something
• 17:29
  that's
• 17:30
  special
• 17:30
  to
• 17:30
  you.
• 17:32
  Maybe
• 17:32
  it's
• 17:32
  a
• 17:33
  place
• 17:34
  like
• 17:34
  how
• 17:34
  Uluru
• 17:35
  is
• 17:35
  special
• 17:36
  to
• 17:36
  the
• 17:36
  Arnangru
• 17:37
  people.
• 17:38
  Now
• 17:39
  imagine
• 17:39
  you're
• 17:39
  explaining
• 17:40
  to
• 17:40
  a
• 17:40
  friend
• 17:41
  why
• 17:41
  this
• 17:41
  place
• 17:42
  matters
• 17:42
  so
• 17:43
  much.
• 17:44
  Just
• 17:45
  like
• 17:45
  the
• 17:45
  Aboriginal
• 17:46
  peoples
• 17:46
  pass
• 17:46
  down
• 17:47
  their
• 17:47
  stories,
• 17:48
  you
• 17:49
  too
• 17:49
  have
• 17:49
  stories
• 17:50
  that
• 17:50
  are
• 17:50
  important
• 17:51
  to
• 17:51
  you
• 17:52
  and
• 17:52
  your
• 17:52
  family.
• 17:55
  Think
• 17:55
  about
• 17:55
  the
• 17:56
  dreaming
• 17:56
  stories
• 17:57
  we
• 17:57
  learned
• 17:57
  today.
• 17:58
  Even
• 17:58
  though
• 17:59
  they
• 17:59
  might
• 17:59
  be
• 17:59
  different
• 18:00
  from
• 18:00
  stories
• 18:01
  you
• 18:01
  know,
• 18:02
  they
• 18:02
  help
• 18:03
  explain
• 18:03
  how
• 18:04
  things
• 18:04
  came
• 18:04
  to
• 18:05
  be
• 18:05
  and
• 18:06
  teach
• 18:06
  important
• 18:07
  lessons
• 18:07
  about
• 18:08
  taking
• 18:08
  care
• 18:08
  of
• 18:08
  our
• 18:09
  world.
• 18:10
  What
• 18:10
  stories
• 18:11
  does
• 18:11
  your
• 18:11
  family
• 18:12
  tell
• 18:12
  that
• 18:12
  help
• 18:13
  you
• 18:13
  understand
• 18:13
  the
• 18:14
  world
• 18:14
  better?
• 18:15
  Maybe
• 18:16
  you
• 18:16
  have
• 18:16
  special
• 18:16
  family
• 18:17
  traditions
• 18:18
  that
• 18:18
  have
• 18:18
  been
• 18:18
  passed
• 18:19
  down
• 18:20
  just
• 18:20
  like
• 18:20
  the
• 18:20
  Aboriginal
• 18:21
  peoples
• 18:22
  passed
• 18:22
  down
• 18:22
  their
• 18:23
  traditions.
• 18:24
  The
• 18:24
  Aboriginal
• 18:25
  peoples
• 18:26
  teach
• 18:26
  us
• 18:26
  that
• 18:26
  everything
• 18:27
  in
• 18:27
  the
• 18:27
  world
• 18:28
  is
• 18:28
  connected
• 18:29
  through
• 18:29
  stories
• 18:29
  and
• 18:30
  respect.
• 18:31
  We
• 18:32
  can
• 18:32
  use
• 18:32
  this
• 18:32
  wisdom
• 18:33
  in

  our

  has
• 21:25
  the
• 21:25
  bill
• 21:25
  of
• 21:26
  a
• 21:26
  duck,
• 21:27
  the
• 21:27
  tail
• 21:27
  of
• 21:27
  a
• 21:28
  beaver,
• 21:28
  the
• 21:29
  feet
• 21:29
  of
• 21:29
  an
• 21:30
  otter.
• 21:31
  It

  lays
• 21:31
  eggs
• 21:32
  like
• 21:32
  a
• 21:32
  bird,
• 21:33
  but
• 21:34
  it

  is

  a

  was

  watching

  them

• 22:03
  Now
• 22:03
  get

  ready

  for

  the

  origin
• 22:05
  of
• 22:05
  the
• 22:05
  platypus.
• 22:07
  This
• 22:07
  is
• 22:07
  my
• 22:08
  favorite
• 22:09
  aboriginal
• 22:10
  story
• 22:10
  from
• 22:10
  the
• 22:11
  dreaming.
• 22:12
  A
• 22:13
  long,
• 22:13
  long
• 22:14
  time
• 22:14
  ago,
• 22:15
  there
• 22:15
  was
• 22:15
  a
• 22:15
  curious
• 22:16
  duck
• 22:16
  who
• 22:16
  lived
• 22:17
  near
• 22:17
  a
• 22:17
  river.
• 22:18
  She
• 22:19
  was
• 22:19
  beautiful,
• 22:20
  with
• 22:21
  shiny
• 22:21
  feathers
• 22:22
  and
• 22:22
  a
• 22:22
  playful
• 22:23
  spirit.
• 22:24
  One
• 22:25
  day
• 22:25
  while
• 22:26
  paddling
• 22:27
  downstream,
• 22:28
  she
• 22:29
  met
• 22:29
  a
• 22:29
  proud
• 22:30
  and
• 22:30
  strong
• 22:31
  water
• 22:31
  rat.
• 22:33
  He
• 22:33
  had
• 22:33
  sleek
• 22:34
  fur,
• 22:35
  strong
• 22:35
  legs,
• 22:36
  and
• 22:37
  he
• 22:37
  knew
• 22:37
  every
• 22:38
  twist
• 22:38
  and
• 22:39
  turn
• 22:39
  of
• 22:39
  the
• 22:40
  river.
• 22:41
  What's
• 22:42
  in
• 22:42
  your
• 22:42
  hand,
• 22:44
  duck?
• 22:44
  Asked
• 22:44
  Water
• 22:45
  Rat.
• 22:46
  That's
• 22:46
  my
• 22:47
  special
• 22:47
  spear
• 22:48
  I
• 22:48
  use
• 22:48
  to
• 22:49
  hunt
• 22:49
  my
• 22:49
  food,
• 22:51
  he
• 22:51
  replied.
• 22:52
  The
• 22:53
  duck
• 22:53
  and
• 22:53
  the
• 22:54
  water
• 22:54
  rat
• 22:54
  became
• 22:55
  close
• 22:55
  friends
• 22:56
  and
• 22:57
  soon
• 22:58
  they
• 22:58
  fell
• 22:59
  in
• 22:59
  love.
• 23:00
  Though
• 23:01
  they
• 23:01
  were
• 23:01
  very
• 23:02
  different,
• 23:03
  they
• 23:03
  didn't
• 23:03
  let
• 23:04
  that
• 23:04
  stop
• 23:04
  them.
• 23:05
  Eventually,
• 23:07
  the
• 23:07
  duck
• 23:08
  laid
• 23:08
  eggs
• 23:09
  in
• 23:09
  a
• 23:09
  nest
• 23:10
  by
• 23:10
  the
• 23:10
  water's
• 23:11
  edge.
• 23:13
  When
• 23:13
  the
• 23:14
  eggs
• 23:14
  hatched,
• 23:15
  strange
• 23:16
  creatures
• 23:17
  emerged.
• 23:18
  They
• 23:18
  had
• 23:19
  bills
• 23:19
  like
• 23:20
  duck.
• 23:21
  They
• 23:21
  had
• 23:21
  webbed
• 23:22
  feet
• 23:22
  like
• 23:22
  duck.
• 23:24
  But
• 23:24
  they
• 23:24
  had
• 23:24
  four
• 23:25
  legs
• 23:26
  like
• 23:26
  water
• 23:26
  Rat.
• 23:27
  They
• 23:27
  had
• 23:28
  fur
• 23:28
  like
• 23:28
  Water
• 23:29
  Rat.
• 23:30
  The
• 23:30
  boy
• 23:31
  baby
• 23:31
  had
• 23:32
  sharp
• 23:32
  tips
• 23:33
  on
• 23:33
  its
• 23:34
  back
• 23:34
  legs
• 23:34
  called
• 23:35
  spurs,
• 23:36
  just
• 23:36
  like
• 23:37
  the
• 23:37
  tip
• 23:37
  of
• 23:37
  Water
• 23:38
  Rat's
• 23:38
  special
• 23:39
  spear.
• 23:40
  They
• 23:40
  were
• 23:40
  platypuses.
• 23:42
  When
• 23:43
  Duck's
• 23:43
  friends
• 23:44
  came
• 23:44
  to
• 23:44
  see
• 23:44
  her
• 23:45
  children,
• 23:45
  they
• 23:45
  said
• 23:46
  they
• 23:46
  look
• 23:47
  very
• 23:47
  strange.
• 23:49
  They
• 23:49
  don't
• 23:49
  have
• 23:49
  two
• 23:50
  legs
• 23:50
  like
• 23:50
  a
• 23:50
  duck.
• 23:51
  They
• 23:52
  don't
• 23:52
  have
• 23:52
  wings
• 23:53
  like
• 23:53
  a
• 23:53
  duck.
• 23:54
  Where
• 23:55
  are
• 23:55
  their
• 23:56
  feathers?
• 23:58
  Then
• 23:58
  Water
• 23:59
  rat's
• 23:59
  friends
• 24:00
  came
• 24:00
  to
• 24:00
  see
• 24:00
  the
• 24:00
  children.
• 24:01
  They
• 24:02
  said
• 24:03
  they
• 24:03
  look
• 24:03
  very
• 24:03
  strange.
• 24:05
  They
• 24:05
  don't
• 24:05
  have
• 24:05
  long
• 24:06
  tails
• 24:06
  like
• 24:06
  a
• 24:06
  water
• 24:07
  rat.
• 24:08
  They
• 24:08
  don't
• 24:08
  have
• 24:08
  faces
• 24:09
  like
• 24:09
  a
• 24:09
  water
• 24:09
  rat.
• 24:11
  Why
• 24:11
  do
• 24:11
  they
• 24:11
  have
• 24:12
  a
• 24:12
  beak
• 24:12
  like
• 24:12
  a
• 24:12
  duck?
• 24:15
  The
• 24:15
  other
• 24:15
  animals
• 24:16
  were
• 24:16

• 24:18
  What
• 24:18
  kind
• 24:18
  of
• 24:18
  creature
• 24:19
  is
• 24:19
  this?
• 24:20
  They
• 24:20
  said.
• 24:21
  Is
• 24:22
  it
• 24:22
  a
• 24:22
  bird?
• 24:23
  A
• 24:23
  mammal?
• 24:24
  It
• 24:24
  doesn't
• 24:24
  belong
• 24:24
  to
• 24:25
  any
• 24:25
  one
• 24:25
  group.
• 24:27
  But
• 24:27
  the
• 24:27
  platypus,
• 24:28
  with
• 24:28
  its
• 24:28
  soft
• 24:29
  heart
• 24:29
  and
• 24:30
  clever
• 24:30
  mind,
• 24:31
  didn't
• 24:32
  worry
• 24:32
  about
• 24:32
  labels.
• 24:33
  It
• 24:34
  knew
• 24:34
  it
• 24:34
  came
• 24:34
  from
• 24:35
  love
• 24:35
  and
• 24:36
  it
• 24:36
  could
• 24:36
  swim,
• 24:37
  dig
• 24:37
  and
• 24:38
  live
• 24:38
  in
• 24:38
  two
• 24:39
  worlds,
• 24:40
  land
• 24:41
  and
• 24:41
  water.
• 24:42
  The
• 24:43
  family
• 24:43
  moved
• 24:44
  upstream
• 24:44
  to
• 24:45
  the
• 24:45
  mountains
• 24:45
  where
• 24:45
  they
• 24:46
  found
• 24:46
  beautiful,
• 24:47
  crystal
• 24:47
  clear
• 24:48
  water
• 24:48
  to
• 24:48
  play
• 24:48
  in
• 24:49
  among
• 24:50
  the
• 24:50
  rocky
• 24:50
  creek
• 24:51
  beds.
• 24:52
  The
• 24:52
  Platypus
• 24:53
  had
• 24:53
  children
• 24:53
  there.
• 24:54
  And
• 24:55
  to
• 24:55
  this
• 24:55
  day,
• 24:56
  you
• 24:56
  can
• 24:56
  still
• 24:56
  find
• 24:57
  platypuses
• 24:58
  living
• 24:58
  in
• 24:58
  the
• 24:58
  mountain
• 24:59
  streams
• 24:59
  of
• 24:59
  eastern
• 25:00
  and
• 25:00
  southeastern
• 25:01
  Australia.
• 25:03
  This
• 25:03
  story
• 25:04
  reminds
• 25:04
  us
• 25:04
  that
• 25:05
  being
• 25:05
  different
• 25:05
  is.
• 25:06
  Is
• 25:06
  not
• 25:06
  something
• 25:07
  to
• 25:07
  be
• 25:07
  ashamed
• 25:08
  of.
• 25:09
  In
• 25:09
  fact,
• 25:09
  it
• 25:10
  can
• 25:10
  be
• 25:10
  something
• 25:10
  truly
• 25:11
  magical.
• 25:12
  Just
• 25:13
  like
• 25:13
  with
• 25:13
  the
• 25:13
  platypus,
• 25:14
  we
• 25:14
  each
• 25:15
  have
• 25:15
  special
• 25:16
  parts
• 25:16
  of
• 25:16
  ourselves
• 25:17
  that
• 25:17
  make
• 25:17
  us
• 25:18
  unique.
• 25:19
  And
• 25:19
  just
• 25:19
  like
• 25:20
  the
• 25:20
  animals
• 25:20
  in
• 25:20
  the
• 25:21
  dreaming,
• 25:21
  we
• 25:22
  all
• 25:22
  belong
• 25:23
  in
• 25:23
  that
• 25:23
  great
• 25:23
  web
• 25:24
  of
• 25:24
  life.
• 25:25
  Take
• 25:25
  a
• 25:26
  second
• 25:26
  now.
• 25:27
  What's
• 25:27
  unique
• 25:28
  about
• 25:28
  you
• 25:28
  that
• 25:29
  makes
• 25:29
  you
• 25:29
  special?
• 25:31
  Can
• 25:31
  you
• 25:31
  think
• 25:31
  of
• 25:31
  a
• 25:32
  friend
• 25:32
  who's
• 25:32
  very
• 25:33
  different
• 25:33
  from
• 25:33
  you,
• 25:34
  but
• 25:34
  who
• 25:34
  you
• 25:35
  love
• 25:35
  being
• 25:35
  around?
• 25:37
  This
• 25:37
  story
• 25:38
  teaches
• 25:38
  us
• 25:38
  inclusion,
• 25:40
  respect
• 25:40
  for
• 25:40
  diversity,
• 25:42
  and
• 25:42
  the
• 25:42
  idea
• 25:43
  that
• 25:43
  we
• 25:43
  all
• 25:43
  have
• 25:44
  a
• 25:44
  place
• 25:44
  in
• 25:44
  the
• 25:44
  world,
• 25:45
  even
• 25:46
  if
• 25:46
  we
• 25:46
  don't
• 25:46
  fit
• 25:47
  neatly
• 25:47
  into
• 25:48
  one
• 25:48
  box.
• 25:50
  Now
• 25:50
  that
• 25:50
  we've
• 25:51
  heard
• 25:51
  these
• 25:51
  beautiful
• 25:52
  stories
• 25:53
  and
• 25:53
  learned
• 25:54
  so
• 25:54
  much
• 25:54
  about
• 25:54
  Aboriginal
• 25:55
  cultures,
• 25:57
  let's
• 25:57
  take
• 25:57
  a
• 25:57
  moment
• 25:58
  to
• 25:58
  think
• 25:58
  about
• 25:58
  what
• 25:59
  we
• 25:59
  can
• 25:59
  carry
• 26:00
  forward
• 26:00
  in
• 26:00
  our
• 26:01
  own
• 26:01
  lives.
• 26:02
  Aboriginal
• 26:03
  peoples
• 26:03
  believe
• 26:04
  that
• 26:04
  the
• 26:05
  land
• 26:05
  is
• 26:05
  not
• 26:06
  just
• 26:06
  something
• 26:06
  we
• 26:07
  live
• 26:07
  on,
• 26:08
  it's
• 26:08
  a
• 26:08
  part
• 26:08
  of
• 26:09
  who
• 26:09
  we
• 26:09
  are.
• 26:10
  Ancestor
• 26:11
  spirits
• 26:12
  live
• 26:12
  in
• 26:12
  rivers,
• 26:13
  trees,
• 26:14
  stars
• 26:15
  and
• 26:15
  mountains,
• 26:16
  so
• 26:16
  nature
• 26:17
  must
• 26:17
  be
• 26:18
  respected.

  Every
