I came from the dreamtime .... by onewing

I came from the dreamtime ....

I came from the dream-time, from the dusty red soil plains
I am the ancient heart, the keeper of the flame.
I stood upon the rocky shore, I watched the tall ships come.
For forty thousand years I’ve been the first Australian.

I thought the song by the Seekers, "I am Australian" was appropriate for this pairs image. Here is a link to the song if you are interested.

@pcoulson Yes Peter, he is quite well known in NSW. His name is Uncle Max Eulo and he appears on the news regularly performing smoking ceremonies at various events. As you say you can see him quite often at Darling Harbour.
