Abstract
Miscommunication, dispossession and issues of patriarchy vs matriarchy emerged as key themes in the proving of Lac macropi gigantei. The milk of the Eastern Grey kangaroo (Macropus Giganteus) appears to tell the story of the nation’s first peoples, the Aboriginals, and their struggle to share their Land with others who do not understand or appreciate their culture and the role that the myths of the Dreamtime play in shaping the psyche of the nation.
