Oh, the place is wonderful!
Are you planning to visit the Aboriginal art rocks? I would looove to feel the place, although everything is buried... Crazy and so frustrating!

Many many years ago I read The Songlines by Bruce Chatwin and almost 15 years later I still think of the dreaming tracks, magic!

That's our shower system too, haha!

Oh yes Somglines was awesome. No, if it is under sand you just can't see it. And the locals told us the indigenous people here don't like you climbing the mountain there and going onto that land so will be respectful. But there's another place I think I'll try to get to!!!

Of course, it is sacred land! I would like to feel the energy of the place, even without seeing. There is always sth very special to these places. Indigenous people are so right, they are protecting the land because they have seen a lot...

You are so lucky to be in such a powerful environment!

It's a super sad story about Tasmanian aboriginals. They were all but wiped out. Read about Truganini. One if the guys she was with when they killed the whalers on the mainland, Pevay, was from this area.

Yes, I will check it out. Sadly, all stories about indigenous people all over the world are very similar. At least nowadays many people try to bring it all in the surface, not that it will be healed but at least not to be forgotten what has been done... Thank you for sharing!
