Fast Fish

Fast Fish is the third book in the popular 'Scales and Tails' series and is based on a traditional story about the creation of the Murray Cod Fish, Yellow Belly Carp Fish and the transforming Murray-Darling Basin. The story comes with an encouraging message of celebrating differences, learning from mistakes and looking to the future. In the Dreamtime there lived the Goodoo and Thuggai peoples. They looked different to the Murri people who lived nearby.
While the Murri's lived in the rocky overhangs and hunted bigger animals, the Goodoo people lived under the shade of the Coolabah trees and would dig up witchetty grubs. The Murri feared the Goodoo and Thuggai, and their differences. It is up to the Ancestral Beings and the Clever Man, Biamme, to teach the Murris, Goodoo and Thuggai and to remind them that differences are part of the Dreaming Creation.
