"Brolga....the Beautiful Dancer"....

in Dreamtime...a beautiful girl named Brolga who could dance and move with great grace became lost....she was found by an evil spirit who wanted her for his own....her tribe searched and finally found her but the evil spirit wrapped her in a willy willy (tornado) and she was gone forever...but she escaped and came back.... as this beautiful dancing bird.....called Brolga....

Incredible looking birds - we don't see these in NZ! (Although they do look a little like the grey herons we get over here.)
