In the Dreamtime, our Ramindjeri RUWI didn’t have much freshwater soakages creeks and rivers, so long time ago, our ancestors seen that there were no fresh waterways around our country. So one ancestor went out into the scrub and grab the tree and thrust it through the ground, water immediately begun coming out the ground. As he dragged the tree all the way to the ocean he created what is now the Hindmarsh River and Inmin river, the rivers still flows still today. Then our ancestors all gathered in the Hindmarsh Valley, they come from all over Ngarrindjeri RUWI. As they got there everyone started performing for the big ceremony and begun to dance. They are dancing feet on the dry soil their dancing feet created water ponds through the valley. Today the ponds through the valley created for us to get fresh water to drink from are now used by farmers.
