But while the lie of terra nullius – unoccupied country – survived, overarching negotiation between black and white, between the colonial government and the peoples of the Colony, was impossible. Australia was fought for in an endless war of little, cruel battles.

Connection to Site & Collection of Water

After visiting my family in the hinterland of the Sunshine Coast (Land to Kabi Kabi/Gubbi Gubbi country) this week, I paid a short visit to Lake Barumba, located West of Imbil. I sat there to soak up the last hours of the beautiful sunny weather before returning home to Brisbane.

As I gazed at the tranquil surface of the lake, I pondered the role and purpose of this water in supporting the life of all the creatures that dwell by this lake and its surroundings.

I envisioned each drop and its cyclical journey of traversing oceans, clouds, and storms to finally reach this low point of the land and offer nourishment for all the living beings and life forms that depend on water to survive. I delved deeper into the electrical charge contained in the matter of water and what information it carries and transmits. All these abstract, scientific, and philosophical thoughts occupied my mind for such a brief time.

I became so drawn to the body of water I decided perhaps I could take a portion of it with me home so I could embody its presence even longer through meditation practice and observe the subtleties of how it would make me feel based on the memories from collecting the water.

I remembered I had a spare glass bottle sitting in my car to collect 1 liter of water to take home with me.

I did not have a clear, logical explanation for why I wanted to do this, but I felt a strong intuitive sense that it was the right thing to do for my practice and my watery research.

Yay! I love that Australia post are adding a line on their parcels to add the traditional place name.

This will be a great way to learn the names of other areas, I know my own and am excited to use it, but it will be great to identify others on parcels I receive.

[at-the-exd-of-everythixg]

U know what I wAS going to merely just write about Dae and Sal's new doggos but. I have instead decided to do...all of my kids. Ur welcome.

Ava: Still working as a PI, but now she takes more into helping ex Dragonflys out as well as bringing new members to where they belong. Much happier and better at controlling her powers and often keeps her biker sense of style but it practically never seen without her leather jacket that shows a mint green dragonfly surrounded by flames on the back.

Mimi: Has moved out of the pro wreslting life as she finally got to study and become a life guard. She's often happy to spend most of her time out there and teaching swim classes to kids in the winter time as well, not to mention relaxing at home with her pet fish, Gubby and Bubby.

Finn: Owner of Cotten Tail Bakery and is not only big handsome tall man, but sports a beard full time now and is no longer ashamed of his mutation. 6'3 and a doting rabbit man 👀. Peter is somehow still alive and Finn is now the proud father of a new Netherland Dwarf called Cookie. Peter os not amused at his new sister.

Pascal: Bigger Dog Dad Dilf than ever. Works full time in the dog shelter but now has accepted the good he can do at his own pace and this leads to Pascal often helping the animals get homes faster and at weekends, visiting hospitals to aid his visions. Cassandra now lives with Pascal as well as the fact that Pascal wears moonstone glasses to keep his eyes at bay, like a "Cooler and Hotter Scott Summers" Pascal quotes.

Mahogany: Now the Alpha of their Own Town, Mahogany happily takes those with powers in and has formed their own well known coup of super humans that have powers far beyond anyone else. Not to mention the fact that Mahogany has now begun to dabble in magic that could allow them to break through into other realms. Got hotter in the fact that they often have long braids to join the many scars decorating their body...and the fur from their beloved baby: Baby Daisy Dukes the big poofy white cat.

Edith: Proud second in command of the Valkyries. Loving life as she gets to visit other realms and ensures to always bring a souvenir back for Wulf and to hopefully not get herself and Ragnarok scarred up too much. Hair goes to the FLOOR baby we're repunzeling this shit along with the fact that she's covered in tattoos and flowers now. Has a lovely fellow warrior named Talitha that Edith has begun to court recently.

Wulf: Finest warhorse trainer in all of Asgard by now and has shifted along to guarding cattle to, which explains the long scars up his back and arms from barbed horns. Wulf occasionally visits other realms but has decided to lay back now and enjoys the connection he gained from the tempest of Earth and is more assured in what he wants for himself and his choices. Has taken to showing Asgard the songs of Earth and is the reason why "Bad Romace" by Lady Gaga has been sung at parties for four months now.

Adonai: Starting to thread themselves back together after years of damage. Merajo lives with them and Ava and the three live together, trying to reconcile over time. They have started a unique job of filling in for celebrities or politicians when needed and Doe actually quite enjoys a job that gets them admired and that means they don't have to kill as often as they used to. They stick with their own form more now, although Doe will take on other people's eyes and skin markings if they like them. If not with anyone for either of them (or maybe an ot3 hm???) Then Doe has begun to slowly date Mordecai again.

Lace: Finally getting off his medication after SHIELD and Xavier's and many court cases were filed against the people who made Lace's family for decades of human experimentation. On the positive side? He's finally getting good therapy and being trained with his powers. The bad side? Suddenly Lace is open about his feelings and it stings. Not to mention the fact that he can barely go around places without catching some paparazzi's eye. At least he still has Ferret and has been allowed to get a lot closer to his family, who also struggle with their broadened world.

Peach: She's starting to move past her truama and the first step of that was slicing her hair short into fluffy curls. Peach had decided that while she loved her other halves more than life itself, she needs to see the world for herself. Basically? Peach is on one long self discovery journey that involves her travelling around with water while sending home the occasional message when Morde and Dae worry too much. Peach dreams of being able to start a bar fight and come at her loser, her little brother and big brother will kick your ass when she yanks them though a pool. Very into the pirate outfits.

Mordecai: Has given into the curly life more now and suffers Fluffy Man syndrome only on weekends along with rocking his scars and prosthetics after Dae ripped his arm and leg off. He still sticks to the slitted skirts though and skips the sunglasses that would normally hide his eyes from people. Morde is more than thrilled to have Doe trying to reconnect and Morde has even begun to work at the pet shelter with Pascal since his powers come in handy with dealing with rowdy dogs...and because Morde still can barely stand most humans.

Dae: Still the curliest boy with the shyest smile, Dae has started to let his skin peel in order to show his diamonds out more and no longer worrying about human skin and blood. He killed Iris guys. Still likes to cook and helps Finn out at the bakery and now had a service St Bernard called Onyx, who is a very gentle giant and yet has the loudest bark ever as he waddles around and gently carries Honkers in his mouth often.

Sal: His sight has declined far enough that Sal eventually decided to shift to a smaller town where he could get better and...never really left? He's shifted to doing camera porn work to keep money going in while trying to figure out what he could do for himself more. Not only has he shifted into his country form, but Sal's lost enough eyesight over time that he ended up getting a guide dog, a rottweiler and golden retriever mix who he named Artemis...and who Sal nicknames Doodlebug. Sal's...happy, but mortified if he finds someone from a previous life.

333witch -> wunya333

I used to be connected to the word witch but I am no longer connected to that word, it has nothing to do with my aboriginal culture. I am still learning my country language so I don’t know the word for healer/‘witch’. Maybe because we are ALL connected to the energy of the land. Anyway Wunya means ‘hello/greetings’ in Gubbi Gubbi so :+)

And 333 is my spirit number

[whats-in-a-sentence]

A squatter on the Mary remembered, years later, a mighty pullen pullen when the Gubbi Gubbi of Mount Bauple faced the Butchulla of K'gari, which the whites called Fraser or the Big Sandy Island:

The Boppleites had close on five hundred men, and what they lacked in numbers they certainly made up in manly physique and martial bearing. Hostilities commenced about 3 p.m., and did not cease till near sundown, when the King of Fraser Island was laid low by a spear right through the abdomen. About a dozen other warriors were killed on both sides, but the allies were completely routed. They appeared to be quite crestfallen, and did not offer the least resistence when a Bopple chief, attended by a crowd of fighting men, rushed on to claim the young princess, daughter of the fallen monarch, or whilst, as afterwards happened they carried her away in triumph.
