Another good recent Aussie movie about real Aboriginal cultural experiences (though not strictly Dreamtime related) is
"Rabbit Proof Fence"
about the young sisters who try to walk back home after having been "officially abducted" - or is that "abducted officially" as per then period Governmant Policy.
The reason for the name, is that they know if they keep the fence on the one side, they will eventually get back home, without getting lost. The (real) fence is thousands of miles long. Story based on some real history, or it might have just been a novel, can't rememeber.

Haven't seen it yet.

The "Music of the Spheres" is a very ancient concept in Western Society too, but we don't believe in all that non-scientfic rubbish now..... :-)

"close only counts in horseshoes" - as someone who studied some blacksmithing, Farmer Jones would shoot you if you said that... :-)

"Maps" - look at medieval maps, not considered "scientific" nowadays cause of all the "here there be dragons" stuff...
Also of interest, "mariners maps" which depicted coastlines as they would look as you sailed along them - reminiscent of "mud maps" as Rally Drivers use. The information contained in a map is only meaningful when intereperted in accordance with the philosophy of the design of the map...


Funny you know, most of my musical brackets seem to begin or end with Walkout.

Sorry for the silly frame of mind, the ABC is broadcasting it's regular Goon Show slot - love the musos they used to have... Max Geldray on now..
