Notes

  • Epigraph:
    Ngangatja apu wiya, ngayuku tjamu -
    This is not a rock, it is my grandfather.
    This is a place where the dreaming comes up, right up from inside the ground... -George Tinamin

    But this our native or adopted land has no past, no story.
    No poet speaks to us.
    -Marcus Clarke
