- In the Dreamtime fire was a jealously-guardedsecret of the seven Karatgurk women who lived by the Yarra River where Melbourne now stands. These women carried live coals on the ends of theirdigging sticks, allowing them to cook yams. One day Crow found a cooked yamand, finding it tastier than the raw vegetables he had been eating
- NOOOO!
- decided he would cook his food from then on.However, the Karatgurk women refused to share their fire with him
- can i have some coals to cook my possum
- i will cook it for you.
- Crow caught and hid a number of snakes in an antmound then called the women over. He told the women he had discovered ant larvae were far tastier than yams. The women began digging, angering the snakes, which attacked.
- Crow, who had been waiting for this, gatheredthe coals up and hid them in a kangaroo skin bag. The women soon discovered thetheft and chased him, but the bird simply flew out of their reach.
- Bundjil the Eaglehawk, who had seen all of this,asked Crow for some of the coals so that he could cook a possum. Crow insteadoffered to cook it for him.
- . The coals caused a bushfire which burnt Crow’s feathers permanently blackand threatened to consume the entire land, until Bundjil’s efforts halted itsspread. The Karatgurk sisters, meanwhile, were swept into the sky where theybecame the Pleiades (the stars are said to represent their glowing fire sticks)
