The Hope of Spring

Narana Aboriginal Cultural Centre has welcomed six new spring arrivals – six emu chicks. Congress Resource Worker, Rev Vladimir Korotkov, said staff witnessed a role-reversal of parenting duties. “Our resident emu Polly laid 12 eggs and Oscar, the dad sat on the eggs for 55 days. Polly just got up and walked away from the eggs. But from Oscar, an amazing paternal commitment. Ancient life keeps evolving in this land if only we have eyes to see.”
