"DIRAWONG GONDWANA DREAMING" MURAL IN BYRON BAY NSW JULY-AUGUST 2016









“DIRAWONG GONDWANA DREAMING” MURAL
BYRON BAY NSW JULY-AUGUST 2016

Dirawong is the Bundjalung goanna dream-time ancestor, and her home is Evans Head NSW. She is daughter of Wollumbin (Mt. Warning), the ancient volcano, and grand-daughter of Gondwana, the ancient super-continent. She gathers lunar magic as a bolt of star-lightning discharges from the head of Burndilla (comet) to Wollumbin’s summit. In the centre of Warrambool or the Milky Way, the Hunab Ku radiates her life-giving emanations from her home between Sagittarius and Scorpio, as sky-wanderers Mars, Jupiter and Saturn dance around her.

From a high tableland a Bundjalung medicine man is ‘beholding country’ by day and by night, honouring the wisdom of the ancestors and contemplating the laws of nature and cosmos, accompanied by his allies the thylacine and rainbow dinosaur bird, feeling the warmth of the sun as she bathes her family of life on the land and in the ocean below her.

Myriad forms of sea-life bask in the crystal waters…sea turtles, octopus, star-fish, urchins, and rainbow cetaceans…Aihe the dolphin and Paikea-aniwaniwa the star-whales, one of whom is diving and whose tail flukes are receiving transmissions from the heart of the galaxy regenerating the health of life on Mother Earth.

Frogs, dragonflies, geckos, and families of marsupials…wombats, koalas, echidnas, platypus, wallabies and kangaroos frolic on the red Earth and in the lush eternally green bush. White and black cockatoos course the skies keeping their cumulus friends company, as lovely pandanus palms and grass trees provide shade and homes for their family of life, most of whom are invisible.

Grandmother Dirawong has donned her most beautiful garment, her sacred Rainbow Robe in honour of the sacred moment in time we call ‘now.’ She is honouring Wollumbin as one of the chakras in the body of the Rainbow Serpent, and is singing her song-lines of joy, harmony, and striving to maintain the highest laws of Baiame the star-maker, all-seeing Sky Father and guardian of all life.
