'Star Stories of The Dreaming' is a documentary feature revealing the oldest celestial knowledge on the planet.

Ghillar, Euahlayi Lawman and knowledge holder, shares some of the oldest knowledge on the planet - Stories of the universe, humanity and Celestial Law handed down from his grandmother's grandmother.

“When I listen to my grandmother, that's my Dad's mum, she was taught by her grandmother who was an old woman when the whiteman first come into our Country and she taught my grandmother. In our way of teaching we skip a generation. That's how we compress knowledge and that's how we keep that knowledge pretty much intact ...” 
Ghillar, Michael Anderson.

In the meeting of minds between Ghillar and Prof Ray Norris, Australia's leading astrophysicist responsible for EMU – Evolutionary Mapping of the Universe, extraordinary parallels emerge within the two cultures - such as 'wormholes' and the pathway to Bullima, the Euahlayi Sky Camp, via the hollow Coolabah tree, which lives on the Old Riverbank.

'Star Stories of The Dreaming' is a force for changing the awareness and Respect of the depth of knowledge First Nations’ hold. The initial 52-minute version of ‘Star Stories of The Dreaming’ opened the door for Cultural Astronomy, which is now on the national curriculum for schools and Melbourne University has a department assigned to the subject. Increasingly First Nations people in Australia are recognised as the first astronomers.
