Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children's Story

The Witchetty Grub

Arrernte / Aranda Nation – Central Australia

Long ago, Witchetty Grub traveled the red land, leaving sweet grubs hidden under tree roots. Through his gift, the animals—and generations to come—learned the power of sharing. Today, children still dig for grubs, remembering the ancestor who gave the desert its sweetest food.

Tiddalik the Frog

Gunai/Kurnai Nation - Gippsland, Victoria

Long ago in the Dreaming, Tiddalik the giant frog drank all the water, leaving the land cracked and dry. The animals tried every trick to make him laugh, for only then would the rivers flow again. At last, one small creature succeeded — and the flood that followed brought life back to the land.

Dinewan the Emu, and Goomblegubbon the Bustard

Euahlayi Nation – north-west New South Wales and southern Queensland

Long ago, Dinewan the Emu and Goomblegubbon the Bustard argued over who was the greatest — speed or cleverness. They raced across the plains, watched by all the animals, but pride and skill alone were not enough. Their legendary contest shaped them forever, teaching that every gift has its place in the world.
