Synopsis
When I was little, like you, I loved to go bush with my family. The other kids and I used to play all sorts of games, and we used to get our own food and cook it. At night-time we sat around the fire and listened as our elders told us Tjukurrpa Yara - stories of the Dreaming. Then we went to sleep under the stars. A vivid picture of a truly Australian childhood.
