First Contact


There is a really amazing exhibition at the National Museum of Australia at the moment which is free. Its about the Canning Stock Route from Halls Creek to Wiluna which show both Indigenous and Non Indigenous points of view. Its got so much content, I think its going to take me at least another 7 visits to be able to read and understand it. Moved me to tears (When the whites chained the black men and feed them salty water and let one off the chain and followed him to water) and laughter of the black mans view of the camel prints in the sand, say he thought they were "little fella bums" in the sand. Its opened until 26.1.2011.
