Children of the Aborigines of Australia grow up listening to stories of trees, rocks, mountains, skies and everything under the sun. Little do they know that these stories will help them one day navigate the vast and wild outback when they set upon their right of passage, the ‘walkabout’. If some stories help us survive the physical realm, most stories help us manoeuvre the emotional space. Stories are the currency of human transactions. We all create, borrow and exchange stories. Who we portray ourselves to be, are the stories we tell others; who we are – the stories we tell ourselves.
