Mooie's Stories hardback a vivid picture emerges ofDja Dja Wurrung Ancestors stories as told to me by my mother, my grandmother, my great grandmother and my great great grandmother before her. How did Wabbee, the freshwater crayfish, get its bright red spots? Why does Wehla, the ringtail possum, have a curly tail? How were Waripi Yaluk, the backwaters of Bulatjal Yaluk Woodlar, the Loddon River, formed? Why does Yern, the moon, light up the night sky? Bunjil, the all powerful, knows the answers.
