Emu Dreaming

Lovers
Joy St Clair Hester
1957



Near the You Yangs in Victoria, is an ancient circle of stones roughly egg-shaped and about fifty (50) metres in diameter, with three larger rocks at the western end. This structure, now called Wurdi Youang, has been described as a small Stonehenge. Nothing is known about its purpose although it appears to have a religious or spiritual sense about it. There is also speculation that it had an astronomical purpose and archaeologists have measured the direction of the large rocks against the range of the setting sun. Wurdi Youang is now owned and managed by the Wathaurung Aboriginal Cooperative Limited.
