Production notes

Told by Wendy Lynch and originally told by her Grandmother Mimbarda (Nelly Lynch). This story comes from the Wongi people who are part of the Western Desert cultures from Ooldea, which is 80 km south of Maralinga. This region is North of the Nullarbor Plains near the South Australian Border.

This TV series consists of 91 episodes.

Over 1,000 schools across Australia purchased educational kits based on the first 39 episodes.

A children's animation series, The Dreaming tells of the journeys and the deeds of Spirit ancestors who made the trees, rocks, waterholes, rivers, mountains and stars, as well as the animals and plants, and whose spirits inhabit these features of the natural world today. The Dreaming stories have been passed down through thousands of years and have continued to tell Aboriginal people how they should behave, what is good and bad, and the history of their environment.
