It will be a slow process, as the Indigenous people have endured Centuries of persecution from colonialism. Attempted genocide is an apt description. I think there is a desire now, across the country, to do right by the indigenous people of this land. Our current government is leading the way, with some missteps, but a desire to do right. It is a start.<br /><br />Personally I am making an effort to educate myself on the issues and reading Indigenous authors has been helpful. There was a course a Seniors College that others have found beneficial as well. We have begun an awareness of the problems, the solutions will outlive me. <br /><br />You photo of the mist at dawn is exceptional.<br /><br />I would not be able to sit in a boat over croc infested waters, though I enjoyed your description of the beasts sun bathing!<br /><br />I will follow your blogs.<br /><br />Marie Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03882722634065183364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7057604927035176441.post-76505678215830135812017-06-19T21:21:53.405+10:002017-06-19T21:21:53.405+10:00Wonderful country and nice pictures..

I was wrecked and saw that we had entered Australia's airspace and thought 'at last we're nearly there' only to realise that we still had five hours of flying to do! <br />Thanks for bringing so many memories back to me :D Neesiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08629847485174945501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7057604927035176441.post-90820081406587264842017-05-13T07:23:14.004+10:002017-05-13T07:23:14.004+10:00What a thoughtful post.
