Margaret Johnson Primary Orality “The Songlines” First European account – William Dampier “The Fatal Shore” Robert Hughes. P.48. Second account by Captain James Cook.. “They appear to some to be the most wretched people upon the earth, but in reality they are far happier than we Europeans, being wholly unacquainted not only with the superfluous but the necessary Conveniences so much sought after in Europe, they are happy in not knowing the use of them. They live in Tranquillity which is not disturb’d with the Inequality of Condition” (p.54).

Margaret Johnson Primary Orality “The Songlines” What are the Songlines? Intricate pathways all over the country – the stories of the land. ‘An unsung land is a dead land’ (Chatwin). How are they recorded? Passed down through the generations. Melodic principles, beats and rhythm. What are the stories about? Practical – nature and local resources. Mythological – stories of the ancestors, bunyips and other supernatural phenomenon. Who tells the stories? Elders, lawmen, women, and those initiated through age and wisdom. The stories contain multiple levels of complexity.
