Australian Indigenous Legends and Science teachings.

During our first tour of the Out back we where privileged to meet some of the family of this countries forefathers.

We learned that Aboriginal "Lore" ( not "law" so often confused ) tells of legends and stories that explain our indigenous hosts ways of interpreting the natural world around us.
These teachings are not freely shared among us, as some are considered "Secret business", we accept this way and offer no judgement of their "law".
We are able to share with you some not so commonly known legends and if you believe that reading the seasons and the gifts they bring, by the stars is a science then we must offer our respect and honour the fact that the Australian indigenous people have been practicing this science (Astronomy) for over 80.000 years..... Many white Australian's don't believe that astronomy was a serious part of the "Aboriginal" culture, since, "they" had no Math and never needed to count beyond five, this assumption is rubbish as one researcher pointed out that, he witnessed a group of Indigenous kids playing a counting game that took them past "77" in their "native" tong... Yes the indigenous people here had math, probably had records and there is even what looks like a tide and moon calender....
There is so much "we" just don't know.

Here, we have posted various Legends and Observations made by different tribes and individuals of the indigenous people of Australia, the first astronomers this land ever saw..... ADU.
