Dreamtime Story--THE CASE OF THE MOTH

This is a sorrowful and feelingful dreamtime story!
The story about long long ago a Queensland hunter went on a long journey and taking his small son with him. It was hard for the little boy , and day by day he felt very weak . Then the rains came. They weren't stopping until rivers rose and the land became a vast swamp. The little boy got ill. The hunter built a rough shelter of bark and branches of trees to keep the rain off the boy. Their food had long been exhausted, and the man knew that his son would die if he was not given food quickly.
So he tucked the boy up in his kangaroo-skin rug and splashed through the marsh and searched quarries. It was not easy to find in the marsh, but after several days he found a possum and killed it with his spear. He hurried back to the gunyah he had built because he was scared that his son lying there dead from starvation.
He arrived at the clearing, he couldn't find his gunyah and his son . He could not understand what had happened. He had been prepared to find his son's body, but last he imagined was that it, and the little gunyah have disappeared as through by magic.
He leaned against a tree. His hand contacted with a loose knob of bark and twigs on the trunk. He looked at it idly and then, with a sudden sense of shock, more closely, for it was a replica of the little gunyah he had built to shelter his son. He opened it with trembling fingers. Inside the case lay the white body of a grub, and he knew that the spirits had taken pity on the boy and saved him from death.
To this day the grub of the Case-moth always has a gunyah which it builds to protect it, and remind it of how, long ago, a father cared enough for his son to build a shelter for him while he sought for food.

SYDNEY IN MY EYES

Sydney is the biggest city and it has the most populous city in Australia. It has many famous and old buildlings , beautiful beaches and a lot of nice parks.
I think the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge are the best place in Sydney because they are famous in the world. There are a lot of nice and beautiful parksin Sydney. For example the Camellia Gardens.
There are four seasons in Sydney , spring, summer,autum and winter. But there are two seasons in North Australia, just wet season and dry season. In Sydney the climate is very comfortable. The average temperature is 24 degrees centigrade.
The traditional food are chips, fish finger and B.B.Q.in the Sydney and the OZ love drink beer. The B.B.Q is the most popular dish in Australia because in Australia the people love make a B.B.Q for family party on the weekend. The most connon cap in Australia is Akubra. I think here is expensive for living and food because fruits and vegetables are very expensive. Every week I have to pay rent for living. It is more difficult find job in Sydney because a lot of immigrant from everywhere in the world. The big problem is the some people can't speak well English so it is very difficult find a good job .
I have been in Australia since 2003. I can speak Chinese and a little bit English. So I study English at TAFE now because I want to settle dawn in Australia and when my English get well I'll look for a good job. My hobbies are reading and travelling, but now I have to look after my little girl---Reanne. So I like go to parks with my little girl in my free time. My dreams are I hope owm my house in the future and hope visit around the world. I just know a little bit Aborigine word like Uluru, didgeridoo.
