'A creation story from the Jaara people of Victoria, this tells of the strong rivalry between the crow and the eagle. Their rivalry caused volcanoes to spring up, and lava to flow, and explains why the mountains and lowlands are where they are today. It also explains why the eagle remains in the sky above the highlands while the now black crow resides in the lowlands, and why the bat only comes out at night. This story not only explains the layout of the landforms in the area around Ballarat, but also why these birds are all totems to the Jaara people and so are never to be killed.'
