Picture | Legend |
big fish | animals, life |
wavy shapes - waves? | lakes, rivers - water (sea) |
sun? | light |
imposing fish tail - swimming | |
insects | animals, life |
corn in the stomach of the fish | food -> sustenance -> life |
fishbone | death -> cycle of life |
brown/orange dots | sand - soil - ground |
In this picture, there are different elements connected to the Aboriginal legend of creation. The waves symbolise the water; the sun -> the light that gave life to the cereals (corn) and the soil (dots). The fish represents the cycle of life : it is alive in the sea, it is fed (corn) but its life will come to an end (fishbone). The movement from life to death is indicated by the imposing tail that helps the fish to move.

cf.song
Tuesday, January 19th (the nineteenth)
This document is a song written by Scared Weird Little Guys entitled
Deadly animals, Come to Australia. They were asked by the Australian Tourist
Commissioner to write a song about the “wonderful wildlife” and “fabulous fauna”
of Australia to bring the tourists back. However, the song only focuses on the
bad and dangerous animals and all the different ways you can die there. It is
ironic and funny.
