This is rock country

I thought
this is rock country
sky country
water country
deep time ever present
etched on the land
the seasons, millennia of wind
the raging creeks during the wet
the hidden meanings of ancient paintings on the overhangs
made by passer-by’s
like the secret code of a dream
trails of stars embraced by the dark night
it’s star country
I say
Kakadu NP. 2nd July 2024
I acknowledge the traditional owners of the Kakadu national park lands, the Bininj and the Mungguy and its leaders past and present. Sovereignty has never been ceded. Like millions of Australians I accept the Uluru Statement of the Heart and support the Voice.
