Additionally, at Mount Cambewarra, a powerful Creation story tells of a white cockatoo transforming black during a significant bushfire, symbolising resilience and renewal. 🔗 Dive deeper into their cultural importance: https://lnkd.in/gXgB_JSr

What a lovely story about the most beautiful birds! We are very lucky to regularly have them in our backyard in suburban Melbourne.
