SYNOPSIS

Two Bullanji children learn about family history and Dreamtime myths by studying the paintings in their grandparents' and relatives' homes.

The Cave Painters is a picture book set in The Cape York Peninsula (as are all of Percy Trezise's books) following the journey of an Aboriginal family from the Bullanji clan going home to visit the mother's clan in the desert.  The family take gifts for their relatives and after traveling many days they arrive at their mother's people's place where they are joyously welcomed. Whilst there the children visit the caves to see the different pictures and are taught the clans stories.

 

A wonderful children's story which describes journey of children of the Bullanji clan to visit Yalanji relatives in Quinkin country; mentions Emu ancestor Gooranji depicted in paintings, rainbow serpent Goorialla, Imjim Quinkins, Timara Quinkins, and other Dreaming beings and stories.

Percy TreziseAll of Percy Trezise' books are brilliant.  His picture books portray traditional aboriginal life very well for young children. His illustrations are excellent.

Unfortunately some books are out of print. Our personal favourites are  the 'Journey of the Great Lake' series; the adventures of three young children who are blown away from their family on a raft and have to journey home through many tribal lands. In some lands they encounter help, in other lands danger. . There were seven books written before the author's death in 2005. I'm afraid that the journey may not be finished :(  as only one was being published a year.)

A very special story from the Dreamtime of the  Yalanji people who live in Cape York, Australia. The colourful drawings will appeal to any age.

Very, very entertaining  read!
