Pelicans are prominent figures in Aboriginal Dreamtime
Like most Australian animals, the pelican is hailed as a sacred creature by Indigenous Australians. The Wangkamura people of South Australia credit the pelican for the creation of opals and fire. In another story, Goolay-Yali the pelican is credited with creating the very first effective fishing net.
