A dreadful time for the community and in the end for the community's regard for our aboriginals who I have a lot of respect for but who were very badly advised.Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14177627504060328999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29154649.post-17825373540762796142007-02-13T06:29:00.000+10:302007-02-13T06:29:00.000+10:30Bridges are good to draw with their interesting sh...Bridges are good to draw with their interesting shapes.<BR/>I didn't realize you were near Hindmarsh Island. Yes, what a controversy that was. Perhaps tell us more, the others might be interested. I want to give respect to the indigenous people of Australia and sacred places but sometimes there's different agendas involved.Peceli and Wendy's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01165668047817341837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29154649.post-20757841923031908642007-02-12T20:41:00.000+10:302007-02-12T20:41:00.000+10:30Sounds like a lovely day.
