description: While camping beside a billabong, a youth from the dusty outback is befriended by a kind, old man who helps him better understand the Dreamtime mythology of Australia. Through their conversation, the young man - who strives for a literary life - begins to realize that his thoughts, which have been stifled by his dreary existence, really can flow like water issuing from the billabong. He begins to understand that he has the rare totem of a billabong and has been born into a "Billabong Dreaming," which means that his thoughts are truly limitless.
