The story of Dyeerrm is adapted from the original tale of Tiddalik, a well-known Dreamtime story told throughout Australia by many Indigenous peoples. Iramoo Primary School has worked with the Wathaurong People of the Geelong and Werribee districts to produce a piece of work which reflects the lives of these people, the food they ate, the plants they lived amongst and the stories that make up their culture. "The school has endeavoured to ensure all information in the retelling of this version is accurate. We apologise for any inconsistencies". (Source: Victorian Collections website)
