AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The story of Tree Duck, as told by Olga Miller, is about the Tree Duck which lives in northern, eastern and sometimes southern Australia. It feeds at night out on the plains, eating grass and other plants, and in the morning, it returns to its home near a river or lake and sleeps in a tree.' (Source: Aboriginal Nations website)
