    How long has it been... between 100,000 and 2000,000 years ago perhaps...

    It all began here in Africa, the birthplace of our species.

    Something emerged from the Sub-Sharan area, a serpent of great size and colour...

    Who went by many names; Yurlunggur, Wagyl, Bolung, Kajura, Boamie, and others...

    One we all knew and recognize is the "Rainbow Serpent" of Australia's Dreamtime stories.

    The giver of life and water, a creator of land, a serpent of so many colours, lots of it...

    "I've watched over everything... when humanity itself came into existence..." He said softly moving his long rainbow-coloured body around.
