Bahloo The Moon God Puzzle 12 pc
BOUT BAHLOO THE MOON GOD
In the Dreamtime . . . Baiame had made the hills, valleys, streams and rivers. The bare plains that extended over the horizon paid tribute to Bahloo the Moon God, who serenely sailed across the night sky. In Bahloo’s journey he would bring changes to the weather. He brought winter, summer, autumn and spring to his people. When happy, he would bring good weather for all his tribal people across the land. But if he was angered he would bring bushfires, droughts and monsoons. One day Bahloo became very ill. He summoned two elders to his cave. They followed the footprints to the cave and Bahloo was there. They could not see him, but they could hear his voice. He told the elders of the ‘seasons’ and the signs to look for as seasons change. First there will be summer. It will be hot during this time, which will bring monsoons and floods. This time of the year will be called the ‘wet season’. After this comes autumn, a time where the leaves fall to the ground. Birds lose feathers, the grass stops growing and things that are green will turn brown. Then comes winter, which is the time of cold. During the cold times the gods flee to warmer places and there is less rain coming from their battles in the sky. It is a time to seek shelter for your people, as the animals also seeks escape from the cold. Look for the red sky in this season, for it forewarns of great cold. The end of the cold means the coming of spring, where life returns from its slumber and everything is beautiful again. The birds will sing and dance and give birth to their young. Spring is the season that the flowers blossum in vibrant colour.

Gathering Seafood Puzzle 12 pc
This a Dreamtime puzzle….The Dreamtime is a complete legal, social, and religious system of beliefs. The name is the literal description of its creed. There is a fusion between the dream and the time. Every moment of the past, present and future are as of a ‘dream’ in our minds. The Dreamtime evolved over 100,000 years. It is a window into the heart and soul of the ‘Australian experience’. As humanity struggles to find harmony with nature, it is a bridge between the two forces of progress, technology society and traditional society.

MILAYBUMA – the Barramundi Dreaming
In the Dreamtime . . . Many centuries ago, two aboriginal women were working in a grassy field, culling the wildflowers and weaving their stems into garlands for self-decoration. On this same field was an Ancestor Spirit of the Dreamtime, practicing the throwing of his magic boomerangs. A boomerang, in its homeward flight, fell to earth at a spot just next to the women. One of the women picked up the magic boomerang and kept it for herself. The Ancestor demanded it back and ordered the woman to bring it to him. But she refused, and made derisive comments about his skill with the boomerang. She told the Ancestor she would keep it. This brought great anger to the Ancestor and he put a curse upon both women, and everyone from their tribe as well. By the Ancestor’s magic they were all swept up into the sky until they shone brightly in the distant as stars. For the woman who had taken the boomerang, the Ancestor turned her into a boomerang in the sky, which we know as the new moon. Through the month she grows fatter until she is a fully round full moon. The other woman had in the eyes of the Ancestor commited a smaller crime, and being a minor culprit was turned into a rainbow who would only come after the rains.

Hunter & Tucker Puzzle
Hunter & Tucker Puzzle
Kangaroos in Aboriginal culture are often used as a symbol for warriors. This represents strength of the male, the hunter, protector and provider. The animal was an elusive catch, travelling at speeds of over 60kph and changing direction in the blink of an eye. Also they are fearsome when cornered. It took great skill and courage to succeed in the hunt. Hunters took weapons to confront the Roo from both a distance and up close. It took skill and bring one down, and bravery to kill it. In this artwork are pictured both small and large prey boomerangs. The large prey boomerangs where far heavier and did not return, but were capable of bringing down a big red kangaroo. He depicts the spears that are used to slow the roo down, the boomerang and the closer combat weapons. Robert was a landmark indigenous artist. A self-taught artist, he was an acknowledged pioneered the “modern indigenous art movement”, that first sprang up in the late 1960‘s. A founding member of the Redfern School Of Art – Australia’s first indigenous art school, opened in 1973.
