"Crows have been designated by their Dreamtime ancestors to be the keepers of the west wind. The crows have kept this wind confined within a great hollow log. But the great log is slowly decaying, and one of the Aborigines' fears is that, one day, the log will not be strong enough to hold the west wind; it will come apart to release a great hurricane that will destroy the whole earth and all things that live upon it."

"The Australian Aborigines believe that in the beginning there was no fire and the only light in the world was that from the stars...the time when the earth was cold and clothed in darkness. But one day, after a heavy thunderstorm, a man and his wife saw a strange glow where a bolt of lightning had struck an old log. Puzzled by this weird sight, they covered it with bark but the bark suddenly burst into flame...the elder realised that here was something that would give his people light to dispel their darkness and heat to keep them warm...and so that the twin blessings of light and warmth would never be lost, he sent them up into the sky to become the sun and moon."

Dent Publishing, Victoria, 1988, p. 135 (illus.) Roberts, D., and Roberts, A., Shadows in the Mist, Art Australia, South Australia, 1989, p. 27 (illus.) "...the Bogong moths were not always dull and drab. Indeed, long ago in the Dreamtime, one of the most beautiful of all creatures was Myee the moth...with her dazzling multi-coloured wings. She often wondered why the mountains high abover her were covered in white. Myee's curiosity was too much for her and she flew up towards the mountains. The snow soon covered her and she lay covered by the snow until Spring. As the snows melted, Myee's beautiful colours drained away...they ran into and coloured the new spring flowers of the mountains."
