The Songlines
The songlines are the invisible pathways that criss-cross Australia, ancient tracks connecting communities and following ancient boundaries. Along these lines Aborigines passed the songs which revelled the creation of the land and the secrets of the past. In this account Chatwin recalls his travels across the length and breadth of Australia seeking to find the truth about the songs and unravel the mysteries of their stories. The book not only explores the life and customs of Indigenous Australians but presents it in the broader framework of the human condition, posing the question 'why is man the most restless and dissatisfied animal on earth?'

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The complexity of oral traditions has been recognized only recently. Indigenous cultures were seen as intellectually inferior and primitive, but they were actually very complex and advanced. They memorized a great deal of information, and used it to navigate their environment. #2 The need to know the animals and plants that live in a specific area is common among Indigenous people. They often have a love of knowledge for knowledge’s sake, and they often record the names, sounds, behavior, and habitats of animals in myths, songs, and dry sand paintings. #3 The dances of Australian Aboriginal tribes are a complement to the songs they sing. They not only entertain but information can be encoded in dance that defies clear expression in words. #4 The songs, dances, and mythology of the kachina, the mythological beings who perform much of the Pueblo oral tradition, tell the stories of mythological characters who act out the highly memorable narratives.
