28 Apr 2024

We have the rubbing of the sticks together, hitting the stone, the flint stone and then blowing on the 25 embers to get the flame. [...] And we have the new - we are the modern-day warriors now taking over the legacy and we are here, organisations, representing our people, but here in this place to talk about the injustices inflicted 35 on generations of our children is the rightful way to have these hearings, especially here as we bore the brunt of colonisation. [...] And the Kerrupjmara Elders back in the 80s created a diversion channel right up the top here to get water back to the other side of the wall there. [...] And then, again, with the Western science we 20 seen how old it was, but it came time to put in a new weir in 2010 to restore the water, permanent water here, and all the hydrologists and all that come up and said look, the best place to put it - and this is after digital flyovers and that - and they said the best place to build a weir is here. [...] 10 MS McLEOD SC: So, part of the obvious wealth of this place is the water and the restoration of the bird life and the wetlands here.
