Bangu the Flying Fox Dreamtime Story
A DREAMTIME STORY OF THE YUIN PEOPLE OF WALLAGA LAKE.
Long ago, when the world was new, there were many birds and…

The birds and animals spent most of their time fighting one another. Bangu the Flying Fox couldn’t make up her mind if she was a bird or an animal.
Bangu the Flying Fox liked to be on the winning side all the time. When she went out to play with the animals and they got into a fight with the birds, Bangu would change to the birds’ side if they were winning.

Suggested learning activities: Create your own Dreaming story using your favourite insect as the main character. How do they represent a natural phenomenon such as the weather? How do they utilise this phenomenon to carry out their story?

Explain in your own words what the dreamtime perspective of lighting is. How is this different or similar to your understanding of lightning?
