      Sunny and Shadow - Helen Milroy

      CHAPTER 1

      In the Dreaming, all of the elements needed for creation were formed. Everything was being made ready for the beginning of life. Ancestral spirits laid down the patterns of life for the lands, rivers, sky, animals and peoples. Each was of equal value and interconnected as it should be for eternity. This was part of the Dreamtime, a timeless and fluid space where past, present and future coexist.

      As the earth grew, special places from the Dreaming were created, sacred places in the landscape that ensured survival. After the earth started to flourish, most of these places disappeared as they were no longer needed, but some remained just in case life was ever under threat. These sacred places went to sleep and would only awaken if needed once more.

      As the people and the animals were born from the lands, they took up their rightful place in the landscape. Mother Earth welcomed all her children and watched over them. They each had their own place, and everything was in balance. The people, animals, land, sky and water cared for each other, making sure everything and everyone was looked after. They were all family.

      The earth had many different landscapes. In one area, there were groups of people and animals living near each other.

      On one side of the hill was dingo country, where large clans of dingoes roamed the countryside and reared their pups.

      On the other side of the hill were the people who were born from the land, the first peoples. They knew all of the places, songs, languages, stories and ways of their homelands.

      Over time, the dingoes and the first peoples formed connections. The two groups became stronger and stronger together as their friendships grew. They spent time playing, exploring and sharing food together and watched the generations thrive.

      There was a young girl called Calla who loved the dingoes. The Elders could see from the moment Calla was born that she had a great affinity for the dingoes. She was born from an ancestry that had always had dingoes in their family and Calla would now follow in their footsteps.

      Calla’s family also shared a very special gift. The people and the dingoes had not only shared food together, they had also shared their languages. The dingoes and the people had learnt how to speak to each other and could
