On a stroll around downtown Darwin we found an artist. This painting is called Bush fire Dreaming. The aboriginal people have many traditional stories they depict with paintings. They are dream time stories that tell of the beginning. I hope I've described this properly, we're still learning. They invited us to sit down and watch. She was dipping a toothpick into paint and touching it to the canvas, one dot at a time to create the picture. The man on the left told us how he was from the east and she was from Arnhem land (in the north), but that they were all connected.
