Production notes

A story by Aunty Beryl Carmichael originally told by her Great-Uncle Geordy Murray who is from the Marfield Mob, southern Ngiyaampaa, Willandra Lakes area. This story comes from Barkindji country along the Darling River in far Western New South Wales. Barkindji country includes Menindee, Wilcannia to the north and the Victoria-New South Wales border in the south.

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.
