"The Dreamtime"

Aboriginal spirituality entails a close relationship between humans and the land. Aborigines call the beginning of the world the "Dreaming," or "Dreamtime." In the "Dreamtime," aboriginal "Ancestors" rose from below the earth to form various parts of nature including animal species, bodies of water, and the sky.

Unlike other religions, however, aboriginal belief does not place the human species apart from or on a higher level than nature. Aborigines believe some of the Ancestors metamorphosed into nature (as in rock formations or rivers), where they remain spiritually alive.

Description	From the very rare French voyage account, "Voyage autour du monde" under the command of Louis de Freycinet. Who was also on the Baudin voayge. Artist and naval draughtsman, was a midshipman aboard l'Uranie under the command of Louis de Freycinet expedition in 1817. Pellion assisted the official artists J. Arago and A. Taunay during the three-year voyage around the world. On 12 September 1818, l'Uranie reached Shark Bay, WA, where a camp was established. Pellion's Baie des Chiens Marins, Camp de L'Uranie is in the NLA. The expedition struck camp and sailed for Timor a fortnight later. It then sailed into Port Jackson on 18 November 1819 where they were made welcome by Governor Macquarie, who entertained them at both Sydney and Parramatta and permitted both artists and scientists to wander freely. William Lawson guided the surgeon-zoologist Quoy and the botanist Gaudichaud-Beaupr� on an expedition over the Blue Mountains to Bathurst along Cox's road. De Freycinet had intended Arago to accompany them, but his place was taken by Pellion 'whose zeal, activity and courage never failed him in dangerous enterprises, and whose talents as a draughtsman rendered him equally proper for this mission'.
