Bullets:
- We must face the reality of the past. The atrocities, and injustice need to be addressed.
- We have the opportunity to find our new song-lines, wherever we are in the world. Start singing as you walk around your area.
- We are now coming into a new consciousness. Black fella, white fella, yellow fella, all walking together. You are worthy of love, worthy of community.
Quote: "The old people have been preparing us for this time. Slowly and quietly the stories are broad and deep."

“I always felt my spirit was strong in nature and connected to wilderness in particular.
As a young woman I was drawn to explore the wild places of the world, trekking solo through the Himalayas; sea kayaking in Alaska, Canada and Antarctica; and led a Kokoda Trail expedition before it became popular. I qualified in outdoor leadership in Alaska and founded an eco-tourism business in Australia. I created and led WomenTrek, a 3 month relay through South Australia to celebrate 100 years of women’s right to vote and wrote a masters thesis on the impact of wilderness experiences for women from the experience of over 800 women and girls who participated.
I have known I was a descendent of Afghani Camel Drivers intermarriage with Australian Aboriginals from an early age. My mother comes from the stolen generation era. She was brought up by a married couple, and never knew who her father was. A distant cousin studying the family tree was able to tell her that she was, as he put it, “a quarter” Aboriginal, Afghani, Scottish and Irish. We did not think to ask anymore at the time and now wish we had. But this information explained everything!
