Marrai'gang is here!
Lilly Pillies turn pink, like the colour of the setting peach sun.
The cool, fresh breeze blows and leaves are gliding and sliding against you.
Marrai'gang is here!
Sploshing and splashing raindrops fall over the gumtrees making sweet rustling sounds like a never ending rhythm.
Birds and animals huddle in their cosy homes and burrows, admiring the curtain of crystal raindrops that shatter into pieces when touching the dry, red earth.
Marrai'gang is here!
Lilly Pillies picked one by one as the possums devour them in one gulp.
Cookaburras laugh, dance and prance in gratitude for this beauty around them.
Marrai'gang is here!
The Indigenous Australian people belong to this land and are one with it, like a roo in its mother's pouch.
They start the trek through our beautiful country to the coast, moving with the season and respecting the land.
