    My awsome wife planted 150 endemic plants this year. Heaps of bush tuckers. Soon we want to start a sand bag house with the rich loam soil. (Not much clay).
    traditional owners knew where it was at . Xxo

    In my humble opinion Our most critical error in human thought is the 10k&1 ways we divide our selves. It has also complicated our means to avert disaster from climate concerns. Due to our policy variabilities betwixt all the nations and their borders. A global effort is seemingly impossible odds to overcome the challenges ahead of us all.

    Our earth is not coping with human consumption and waste. Australia is a high impact country, but we have kept our fertility to two babies per woman or fewer, for the last 40 years.
    If the rest of the world had done the same, there would be NO world refugee crisis, and far less cause for conflict. Migrants, including refugees, come to Australia to increase their consumption of our earth's resources, to increase their carbon emissions and to increase their waste. This is known as "seeking a better life"

    Might not the forces which caused the last Ice-age "which the indigenous peoples were able to adapt to" be just a teensey weensey bit at play today? It being such a horrendous and catastrophic event (climate change), why don't we look at the whole picture? What were the forces which submerged that land which is today the Barrier Reef? and why are those factors excluded from the current conversation. After all there is plenty of really good science out there on ice age cycles; lets put it on the table.

      The promotion of primitivism, or the archaic revival is part of the implementation of MK Ultra, or the weaponising of anthropology. This is where the hippie, tree hugging drug culture came from. It also includes ufology, positive thinking, feminism, and veganism. Most boomers grew up immersed in this without the benefit of questioning through an internet search, and are permanently brain damaged.

    20200307: We are all human. But we are not the same. We are not ONE as we are many. We are measurably different. We are all the SUBJECT of evolution. We are all complex: Consisting of many different and connected parts. Some, of us are more complex. We are all complicated: Consisting of many interconnections. Some of us can build a spear with which we can exterminate our enemies. Some of us can build an atomic Bomb or a small virus to exterminate our enemies. We are mammals. We are meat eaters. We can remember. And we can forget. And at the so-called end of the day, we dominate our environment. And it's complex. And it's complicated. And no ONE can know and understand it all. But we can resort to religion for answers to every thing. And then it is suddenly simple., and we know everything. Especially our aggrandizement: Answers that Enhance the reputation of (someone/people) beyond what is justified by the facts. And to some people, some cultures, facts more or less matter. So is it a fact that the greatest barrier between Australian Aboriginals and all the others is religion? We are all TRIBAL. And we all belong. And we can kill to preserve our attachments. And there is a limit to our individual capacity to understand.

    "Caring for their country" Of all the world's inhabited continents, Australia has the poorest soils. Aborigines used fire to hunt, without any way of putting the bushfires out. Fires are destructive of soils.
    When a plant dies naturally and falls, the nutrients that it is made of, get returned to the soil by bacterial decomposition and insect activity. If rain follows a fire, the nutrients within the plants that have been converted to ash, are washed into the watercourses. Fire leaves the land exposed to erosion. We have seen this happen in coastal NSW in February, 2020.
