“…During the Dreamtime, when there appeared the earth and life forms on it, the creator gods moved along the "Song Trail" that covered the continent in the form of a ramified system. Songs performed in a certain sequence served as a pass for the resident travelling through the territories of various tribes [18]. The importance of songs as a ritual art is confirmed in the fairy tale which narrates about the representatives of the tribe of parrots that sing for their cousin -thunder, trying to make rain: "We will sing to our cousin Dooloomai the Thunder; he will hear us and break a rain cloud for us" [6].…”
