Alitji in Dreamland
Alitji and her sister were playing in a creek-bed when a white kangaroo hopped past and disappeared into a hole in the ground.
Alitji gazed up into a tree and saw a large witchety grub.
Inside the wurlie the Spirit of the North Wind was nursing a baby, while another woman was cooking itunypa roots. A wild cat lay by the fire, grinning.
I found these images of an Australian Alice In Wonderland on a Russian Blog - I tried to Google it but could find no further info on the author and illustrator.

As today is April Fools day; is this one? Damn good if it is!
ReplyDeleteHowzit Dave ... haha, no ... I don't have the wit necessary to think up elaborate hoaxes - I've been fooled many times though ... even when I'm on full alert ... :)
ReplyDeleteHaving been off line for a week I have just caught up with your Capetown pics and the Ozzy ones. My sister in law lives in Ozz so I must see what her comment is. It is great to be back and following your blog. Need to catch up now with my own!! Diane
ReplyDeletewelcome Back Diane - I'm still off-line and relying on my scheduled posts ... my internet connection is a right royal pain ...
ReplyDeleteThis scared me too. I like the African wonderland far better.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful illustrations.
