Coolgardie: An Aboriginal Sacred Site, Do Not Mine!

Cooma: Indigenous History
My respect for indigenous people just grows as I marvel at their ability to survive and adapt. When I reflect on how they have come from a stone age consciousness to confront the european industralised society, it must have seemed so foreign. I believe they have adapted enormously to white society, a part of myself… Continue reading
Dreaming of An Ancient Earth In Rebirth

Watarrka National Park: Kings Canyon
I visited Kings Canyon today and was deeply impressed by the fact that it is 350 million years old. A large crack appeared through natural forces and the canyon was formed. Originally this place was covered by an inland sea and you can see the ripples etched into the rocks. Moreover, the sand crystalised and… Continue reading
