Film recording by Juha Vanhakartano luminavocal.com.au Silent and still, Frozen and chill, All the world is listening, Tell the tale of your dreaming. Stars fade far above you, A glow appears on horizon, Fingers of sun flow over terrain, Golden light kindles the dawn! Birds stir in the trees, Animals stretch and emerge, Gum leaves rustle as the day begins anew, Begins anew. Light spears through the trees, Hidden secrets revealed. Sinuous contours appear, Sinuous contours appear. Wonambi coils cross the rock, Portrayed by people long gone, Wonambi sees time slide by, Wonambi watches o'er all. Silent and still, Ancient and wise, All the world is listening, Tell the tale of your dreaming. Wonambi is a local name for the 'Rainbow Serpent'.
