Returning to Bairnsdale along the East Gippsland Rail Trail, I managed to take shelter from the rain under the road bridge.

A nice spot to sit and take a break today on Gunaikurnai Country.
This is 9 or 10 km up the Tanjil River from Willow Grove. Obviously I didn't make it much further than this given the pace of the water, despite best efforts.

Even as someone who would self-describe as atheist if your average self-described atheist wasn't both a sex pest and a piece of shit, I can acknowledge that GunaiKurnai Country is a place of gods.

Moving house has been huge, physically and emotionally, and even though I knew kayaking had worked wonders on my chronic pain, I didn't really understand how much until the pain started again after I had gone two months without a paddle.
I made it out onto GunaiKurnai country this afternoon.

Even better. I am the product of white generations but I have an Indigenous Flag. I will not walk under the "cronulla" emblem so....hopefully the GunaiKurnai won't mind.
If you are marching on 24th, please carry Australian flags. Identify as Australians for Palestine. The messaging matters. #auspol

"GunaiKurnai oral traditions hold that such caves weren’t used for ordinary living. They were only frequented by special individuals, mulla-mullung – medicine men and women who wielded powerful knowledge."
