What is a Creation Story?
​
A Creation Story is a type of story that helps to explain the history and some of the traditional beliefs held by Koorie people. They are stories which blend scientifically verifiable events from our ancient past with stories that relate to our beliefs, tales of morality and life lessons.

What can we learn from this story?
The Tiddalik story helps to teach children a number of different lessons:

• The importance of our environment and the preciousness of our water resources.
