Hints and Tips:
- This is a song in Yorta Yorta, the language of one of the Aboriginal Communities.
- It cannot be translated word for word, however, research shows it a song about a goanna, the 'choo' is shooing the goanna away. The word 'goanna' is the English name for the animal, it was their closest approximation of the name Aboriginals used for the animal.
- Easy ATSI children can learn during group time.
- Originates from Torres Strait Islanders.
