Sweet Grass, Sky Gods

The night before we left Brampton Island the weather had finally cleared so that all the stars were visible. The group of us ended up sitting on the beach looking up at the constellations. At first we just found the Southern Cross, something that looked like the big dipper, and other constellations that we knew about. Then one of the leaders started pointing out shapes in the sky that were important to indigenous tribes. Now, the aboriginal people used to smoke a sweet grass and stare into the sky late at night. Rather than looking at the patterns of the stars, they looked at the shapes of the dark patches between stars. There is one patch that is a god, and he lays down and then slowly stands up as the night goes on and everything rotates. It's pretty cool. There is also a kangaroo, and emu, and some other random creatures. The God is the only one that really obviously stands out without the sweet grass. But hey, we did our best. After a little while we pointed out all the constellations that we knew about, and started just making up our own.
The first was a smiley face. Pointed out by one of the project leaders. She was the only one who could see it. Regardless of how many times she gave us directions to it via the God's shoulder, we really couldn't see it.
Not until she mentioned that you needed to look sideways.
Great. So we are all sitting there with our necks all folded looking for this smiley face. They she goes "well, it's not a face, there are no eyes. It's just the smile. SO really it's just a half circle. Sort of". At that point we all saw it. It was indeed sort of a half circle if you torqued your neck the proper way.
Meanwhile another girl had found what looked like a shark (to her) right next to the God. So at this point we had a God, a shark, and a smile.
"I've got myself a house" comes a comment from the same leader who found the "smile". So we all spent quite a few minutes trying to see her house. It didn't happen. Not until the shark girl found a three leaf clover right under it. Now, the clover actually stands out really obviously, so that was rather easy to see, and by giving us instructions via the clover, we were all able to imagine the leader's house.
Now, this particular leader has a really good imagination because she saw a coffee percolator above the God's head. Now, granted, if you added an extra star in, and had rather a vivid imagination, the percolator was CLEARLY there.
Adding these things, mixed with aboriginal creatures and the moral goes like this:
One upon a time, you rode your kangaroo across the tree leaf clover to your house. The next morning you wake up and ride your kangaroo over to the God, who is obviously also a barista (makes for a really cool aboriginal God, don't you think?) who uses the coffee percolator above his head to make two cups of coffee. One for you, and one for the shark next to him. This sequence of events makes everyone happy, as seen by the smile.
It's a great myth.
For some reason, the other leader didn't want to hear about it in detail.
