Dreaming Story
We watched the story of the Wa:Tja bird. In the dreaming story I learnt you never cheat otherwise you will get punished in some way.
By Tom
On camp we heard a dreaming story about the Wa:jta bird. The story had a message in it. The birds were fighting and they had a competition to see who could fly the highest. The Wa:jte bird cheated and got punished. His punishment was to never fly high again.

I learnt about a Aboriginal dreaming story. There was a Wa:jte bird that said to have a competition to see who can fly the highest. The Wa:jte bird cheated. The other birds were going to punish him and he was shy. He hid in the wa:jte bush and didn’t fly high again.
