Scattered across the Australian continent, the net lies invisible paths known to aborids as "ancestor traces". In the west it is known as "Song Paths" and "Tracks of Dreaming". These journeys were part of the creation of an indigenous myth that dealt with legendary creatures roaming the earth. Singing the names of everything they met on the road - birds, animals, plants, rocks, wells - and thus singing the world into existence.

Each tribe had its way of song

Each tribe had its own way of a song that was handed over to its ancestors. Was responsible for preserving these sacred songs as well as adherence to the rules and traditions contained therein. He had a duty to protect their song paths, as unsung territory would wither and die. By singing out stunning places in the countryside, the country has come to life, so she could flourish healthily.

The way of the song also it also works as a map and compass. If Aboridhin knew a song, she was always able to find her way across the country. The man undergoing the ritual "Walkabout" always wanders along the tracks of the songs. If he wandered away from his dream journey, he would step into someone else's territory. As long as she kept her, he always found people who shared his dreams that he could expect hospitality for.

Australia as a note

In theory, all of Australia could be read as a music (song map). You can hardly find a rock or stream that can not be sung. Song paths can be imagined as a labyrinth of epic stories full of sudden twists, in which every sacred place can be read by its geology, function, and legends associated with it.

Anywhere in the wilderness you can point to any part of the landscape and ask the native: "What is the story here?" Or "Who is this?" Is likely to respond "kangaroo" or "andulka" or "agama," it depends on which ancestor he walked. The difference between these different answers can be measured as a section of the song.
