AbstractHistoryArchive Description
A story about a long time ago, before the spirits of all living things became settled, there was a Dreamtime spirit named Julli-Julli. Julli-Julli was a very handsome spirit. Julli-Julli was also very conceited and did not have any consideration for the other Dreamtime spirits. Instead, he spent all his time preening himself, and gazing at his reflection in the waterhole. The rest of his spirit clan were very concerned about his attitude because Julli-Julli was breaking all the rules in the existing codes of behaviour and this was very serious indeed and caused great embarrassment to the rest of his spiritual clan.
