Thank you for making me cry with your retelling of the Dreamtime beginnings of Wilpena Pound and your respect for our first custodians! I visited the pound and Uluru in 1974 on a school trip. I thought it was a once in a lifetime opportunity, until I FELT the spiritual heartbeat of our country coming from Uluru. It was the first time I knew what it is to be "Aussie", and it is what welcomes and binds us all in the principles of "giving a mate a leg up when they are having a bad day." Even the 30% of us who were not born here quickly fall in love with this country. I knew one day I would return to Uluru and I am delighted you are starting to feel the heartbeat that binds us all to country and our ancient past. "Welcome to Country." Enjoy your travels and yes drink plenty of water!

What a beautiful comment you are going to make us cry ☺️. We are so happy to share in even the smallest part of the spiritual heart beat. We are actually headed into Northern Territory soon and will be going to visit Uluṟu so this has made me even more excited! Wishing you all the best and thank you for commenting :)

Great respect for mob and their culture mate. The dreaming stories and songs have more to offer to the sciences than most choose to believe. Many of the earliest creation stories originate from ancestors observations of major celestial events that impacted their world and people thousands of years ago. They are preserved in song lines and stories with observations likened to recognizable references in nature such as animals and their behaviours. Colours are a significant clue as to what these observations might have been. Collaborations between stories and petroglyph rock art is incredibly fascinating. It is in its early stages as far as studies go, but an important and beautiful arm of science, gifted by a beautiful culture of human beings. Our world's oldest record keepers. Enjoy your travels guys

The telling of events in the Dreamtime have been passed down over thousands of years in the oral traditions of aboriginal tribes. One of the stories is of the flooding of the Australian eastern coast when the last Ice Age ended about 14 thousand years ago. The coast then is now the Great Barrier Reef. The tribes had to keep moving inland as the coast disappeared under the sea. Recent scientific research has since verified their stories as fact.

As a non-aboriginal Australian living in Adelaide, who has had family here since the 1850's, I have to say you did a magnificent job of capturing the story of Wilpena. Love the philosophical interpretations you intermix with the Tiktok stuff that you young whippersnappers do. Very happy I stumbled over your channel. All Power to you. And PS: I'm a Port Adelaide supporter, boy did you pick the wrong team in Adelaide :)

The Flinders Ranges are at the edge of the Outback. The middle of the Outback is red soil, flat and fairly barren. If you want a very unique Outback experience, travel back to Port Augusta, then head up the main highway to Coober Pedy. To say it is different is an understatement. You'll love it's quirkiness.

We camped in our caravan at Rawnsley Park Station a month ago the Flinders Ranges are amazing. Tested out the Jeeps 4wd capabilities in some of those canyons and tracks. You guys are a lot more energetic than we were (also a lot younger) Normally Aussies would pronounce it Will peena pound but maybe the indigineous people pronounced it Will penna. The Pich Richi railway and the silo art show in Quorn were also interesting to visit.

I love your telling of the creation story. Thanks for being so respectful of our indigenous heritage. The outback has a certain ambience that can't be reproduced in any other country. It's always different everywhere else. Nothing wrong with that. Other countries have their unique feel to them too. But you have to love a "Sunburnt Country" - Dorothea Mackellar who wrote a poem describing the climate change in Australia way back in 1904 - LONG before CO2 was even having an effect. Go figure climate alarmists. I look forward to you ongoing travels heading west. 👍 Have a golf club? You might need one.
