The Story of Tiddalik the Water-holding Frog told by Lydia Fucsko

This enchanting story replete with sounds of a billabong gathering is read by Lydia Fucsko.

Tiddalik is a character from the Dreaming, stories told by Australian Aborigines about the history of their country.

Tiddalik is a Water-holding Frog, a species of frog in central Australia that has evolved a unique method of surviving in an environment which might not seem particularly suited to frogs.

The Water-holding Frog evolved the process of drinking and absorbing water through its skin until its body became a store of water. For indigenous Australians, this Water-holding frog provided water in times of drought.

The legend of Tiddalik is not only an important story of the Dreamtime, but has been the subject of a popular modern children’s book. What Made Tiddalik Laugh (Puffin Folk Tales of the World) by Joanna Troughton.
