Description
Aboriginal story:
In the Dreamtime, swans were large, white birds
One day, two swans settled on a lagoon owned by the
eagles. The eagles were annoyed and attacked the swans.
They tore out the swans’ feathers and carried them into the mountains.
The crows, who didn’t like the eagles, flew in circles
above the dying swans. As they flew in around, the crows
dropped their own black feathers down over the naked
swans to protect them.
The swans, now covered in black feathers, recovered,
but still carry red blood stains on their bills.
The swan’s white feathers, which were scattered
everywhere, grew into the white-flowered Christmas
Bush, the Coranderrk, and their drops of blood became the Scarlet Heath
