Episode 199 - The Rainbow Serpent

from Weird Crap in Australia Hosted by The Modern Meltdown

When most people think of the Dreamtime, the first story that usually comes to mind is the Rainbow Serpent. The story of the Rainbow Serpent, however, suffers the same fate as the bunyip, the yowie, and many other Dreamtime creatures. Across Australia, different Nations and Language Groups have different versions of the stories, from the malevelent, to the benevolent, from winged to mountainous. Join Holly and Matthew as they examine some of the different stories, the different reasons for the stories, and the special place the stories of the Rainbow Serpent has in the hearts of the local peoples.
