John Bradley and Amanda Kearney (at Monash University's Centre for Australian Indigenous Studies) have been working for some time on developing an animation of a traditional Yanyuwa song, which recounts the journey of a tiger shark to Yanyuwa country.
The animation looks great - it was previewed on an Australian Story episode (earlier this year?) about Bradley and his work at Booroloola. Here is a link to an article about the animation project, and you can follow a link from there to a videoed interview with Bradley and Kearney, which also previews snippets of the animation. The article and the video both include some discussion about the adoption of modern technology in cultural maintenance, and some issues which emerged in doing so - to do with access, and literacy in new media.
