    About this ebook

    The lizard tribes of the Canning River Wetlands, worship Thuwun the creator of all life. They practise their faith through the moon rituals and the making of mandalas.
    Where the Canning River sweeps around the eastern edge of Ferndale Flats, there stands a giant Flooded Gum called Raven Tree. On the swamp ground between the tree and the river stands a burnt tree stump. The Wril tribe of Raven Tree are the custodians of the Old Black Stump where the moon rituals are practised. Jik a young skink of the tribe seeks truth beyond religion and ritual. He journeys through the wetlands, where he encounters tribes of different faiths and creeds and discovers love, hatred, ignorance and wisdom.
