Can you dance the kangaroo?

Just spent great time listening to stories from Francis Firebrace, an Aborigine artist and story teller.  Children are now going to learn how to paint in dreamtime style and make their own pieces of art work. Here are some photos, I hope you like the great Didge playing.    Read More to see photos of the children's work.
