#20 Dunbi the Owl and #21 Warnayarra the Rainbow Snake
#20 - Dunbi the Owl
This is another retelling of an Aboriginal legend, this one involving the angry Wandjina and the destruction of most of the people by flood.
It was originally told by Daisy Utemorrah to children around Derby. Pamela Lofts has retold it and reworked the children’s illustrations. I must say that the illustrations are simple and bold, but I do find them a bit offputtingly crude.

#21 - Warnayarra the Rainbow Snake
This is another in the same series. The story is one that happened 'in the days when we were forced to made to work for the white bosses of Lajamanu'.
The illustrations are the same, broad brush strokes on white paper.
