Emu rising
This shows the emu constellation in the milky way, actually made up of dark patches of dust and gas. It has long been part of aboriginal culture and I have included a link here that explains it a little more.

Here it can be seen rising straight up in the milky way. Also visible here are the two Magellanic clouds and some mild colour from the Aurora Australis.
Taken facing due south at one of my favourite dark sky sites just north of the Grampians National park in Victoria, Australia.
