Hello and Welcome in the Wonnarua Language.
Hello girls and boys!

Welcome to the Wonnarua story of Tiddalick, The Little Green Frog that Grew. It's a story of long long ago when all the animals spoke like we speak today!

It's a story of good and bad and laughter and happiness. It's also a sad story of how the land became dry when all the water left and a happy story, when all the water came back.

Now you all look and listen real hard because your teacher is going to ask you some questions about what you saw and heard.

I hope you like the story of Tiddalick, The Little Green Frog that Grew.

Bye-bye now!
