Celebrating fifty years: Dreamtime stories tell how the Rainbow Serpent came from beneath the ground and created ridges, mountains and gorges as it pushed upward. The name also reflects the snake-like meandering of water across a landscape and the colours caused by sunlight hitting the water. Author and artist Dick Roughsey began to create childrens books after developing his paintings, which used traditional pigments on bark, into a form suited to paper. His book The Rainbow Serpent remains a classic that celebrates the paintings that first appeared in Arnhem Land rock art more than 6000 years ago.
