The story, as we have received it, has a mirrored pair (although perhaps once that rim was refracted in yet other ways), and together they tell of wandering Heroes who leave Australia, singing order into life as they search for new homes. If anything, the symmetry of their symbolism is amplified when translated into Western cartographic images. The Heroes leave from adjacent points from the eastern and western coast of Cape York Peninsula, heading northward for that narrow strait, a mere 150 kilometres wide, separating New Guinea from Australia. Draw a line of latitude exactly midway between the extremities of the two land masses, and then intersect it twice at the longitude of the easternand western-most islands of Torres Strait.

Such a run of wet seasons as we have had the last ten or eleven years would have produced a famine a century or two ago. In traditional Britain the choice of foodstuffs was severely limited. Most people ate only what their local area produced, and even then, they largely confined themselves to what it could produce most easily and abundantly. The volume of the crop was more important than its quality, for they lived for much of their lives on the edge of starvation. It was cereal crops which, under conditions prevailing in traditional societies, yielded most abundantly and most reliably, and it was on the breadgrains that most people depended for the greater part of their food supply. The bread throughout the land [wrote William Harrison] is made of such grain as the soil yieldeth, the gentility commonly provide themselves sufficiently of wheat for their own tables, whilst their household and poor neighbors in some shires are enforced to content themselves with rye or barley; yea, and in time of dearth, many with bread made either of beans, peason, or oats, or all together and some acorns among … The factors governing diet, that is the variety and the relative abundance of foodstuffs, were many. Among them the local soil and terrain were of foremost importance. Without anything beyond an empirical knowledge of agronomy and soil science, people had learned to adapt their cropping systems as far as was practicable to local conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
