Australia is far-flung and until the airplane overcame the tyranny
of distance Australia was terra incognita. Aboriginals of Australia
are one of the oldest living peoples of the world having occupied
the same territory longer than any other human population, about
50,000 years. They believe their ancestors brought the world into
being by naming the landscape and the creatures that inhabit it.
They sing to keep the land alive and their songs are stories of
ancestor figures and a GPS to help guide them over vast distances.
In Sydney and were treated to a spectacular exhibition of
Aboriginal art and dance depicting places along the Canning Stock
Route in Western Australia but we missed a visit to the Opera House
and ferry rides across the harbour because of a mix-up with the
flights. In Perth we attended the 60th Perth International Arts
Festival with a dawn-dusk opening that aimed to reconcile the
Nyungar guardians of Mudurup Rocks at Cottesloe with modern
Australia.
