Fine words Michael, as an author myself I wish I had your skills to paint a picture so clearly and accurately. Having seen much of this nation and the Kimberley, I am reminded of a monolith I gazed upon one day in Halls Creek, Kimberley WA.
In the town centre there is a huge column on top of which is perched a massive black ⚫️ Iron Ball.
As I surveyed this marker a local blackfella and elder whom befriended me said " They used to chain my people to that last century for punishment " left out in the 50 degree heat many died for it was not possible to move such a heavy weight.
This makes your words even more stark and truthful, well done my friend
I miss the freedom of growing up on a sheep station half way between Broken Hill and Wilcania. It’s hard-luck country and my partner said how could you live out there? I loved it.
I seen the word Kimberley and I had to read. Both are brilliant thank you. It only became a prison after invasion. Halls Creek has a very appropriate nick name. HELLS CRACK.
Keep writing Michael, you have a rare skill to keep people reading while delivering a messge most don't want to hear that touches something deep inside.
Best.
Inspiring written article.
EVER

‘Did you reach this far?
Are you pissed off?
Do you want to find me, tell me off?
Maybe punch, or hurt me?
I hope so’
Sorry to disappoint you but hell no, quite the opposite mister
Thought provoking. Thank you.
