"Two hundred years ago...Bands of men roamed the oceans...from the east coast of America to the Great Southern Land of Australia...They were whalers...hardened, brutal men who hunted the giant creatures for their precious oil...Arriving before civilisation on the vast Australian continent..they intruded on the natives who lived at one with the land, and who cherished the mystical power of their Dreaming...a knowledge handed down from the time the world began...The whalers and the aborigines met. There were rapes, killings, massacres...a betrayal of innocence...a taint on the Dreaming...A taint that will live on into the present...and create a new kind of nightmare..."
