One Track For All
One Walk We Can All Learn From
"Telling the story of the southern Shoalhaven Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal history, from an Aboriginal perspective - a popular free attraction in Ulladulla.
The Aboriginal walking track has been constructed in a way that, from a higher vantage point or from the air, the two halves appear as two large goannas, with four carved platforms for some of the best views of the Ulladulla Harbour.
It is a cultural trail that will delight all, with the stories illustrated with carvings and paintings by local Aboriginal Elder Noel Butler, linking Indigenous culture with white man history." https://www.visitnsw.com/destinations/south-coast/jervis-bay-and-shoalhaven/ulladulla/attractions/one-track-all
Tumblr media
One of the four lookouts, this one on the Northern loop of the walking track. Each one features carvings illustrating the history of the area from the perspective of First Nations people and the early settlers. From this point, the first ships were seen on the horizon and times were a'changing.
Tumblr media
A steep track to a fishing spot.
Tumblr media
A timber plank probably four metres long intricately carved to record daily life 250 years ago in this area.
Tumblr media
An interaction that happened often here abouts.
Tumblr media
In The southern section of the 4 km of trails is recorded the story of the early settlers - the timber cutters, the whalers, fishermen and sailors, the dairy farmers, and those that supported the many who lived around the Ulladulla region. The two halves are joined by a common theme - change. There were once 150 timber mills in the area, hundreds of fishing boats, and Dairy farming was the major agricultural industry. All gone now, as will this ironbark trunk, now etched by the strong morning light.
Tumblr media
Look at this record of the fish s[species commonly caught in the area when the local industry supported 150 fishing trawlers - there are now two.
Tumblr media
Behind the harbour and its boats, mostly recreational, is the modern township of Ulladulla.
Tumblr media
When you enter or leave this wonderful trail you are greeted by an incongruous sight. This wonderful carving of a giant frog stands guard over a local book exchange!

Your Moon, Your Mountains
I wanted to make a quilt for my newlywed friends. Here is their request:
We would love a quilt made by you! One of the things I’ve been loving most about our house is seeing the moon come up over the mountains and the stars out so clearly. I think a quilt along that theme would be so wonderful. I lean more towards cooler colors—blues, greens, blacks, and whites, but don’t let that hold back your inspiration.
So I made the “Your Moon, Your Mountains” quilt: Since my friends live in New Mexico, my inspiration was the Organ Mountains--Desert Peaks National Monument, captured in a Bureau of Land Management photo by Patrick Alexander, Las Cruces District Botanist.

Nick is from Australia, so I backed the quilt with a gorgeous aboriginal print fabric, which certainly evokes a star-studded sky.
Tumblr media
The whole design was a surprise, and they loved it. The craziest thing was hearing Sarah say, “I know the photographer!” because of her connection with the BLM. Who knew?!? It was one of my most rewarding projects.

Aboriginal art, mapping a landscape differently

The tropical arid lands of Australia have been the continual home to Indigenous people possibly longer than anywhere on Earth today. Far from being one of the Earth’s remaining wilderness areas, the Western Deserts of Australia are the ancestral home of a number of Aboriginal peoples, who have managed these landscapes for millennia. Indeed, the effects of removing Indigenous peoples from the landscape in the 1960s was catastrophic, resulting in uncontrolled wildfires and a degradation of the ecological qualities for which this landscape was originally valued. Unsurprisingly, the return of these lands to Indigenous traditional owners over the past two decades has seen improvements in the socioecological dynamics of the region. Indeed, some Aboriginal peoples in Australia view “wild country” (wilderness) as “sick country’”: land that has been degraded through a lack of care through use. Thus, Aboriginal notions of wilderness are antithetical to the technocratic and romantic notions of wilderness representing “pristine” and healthy ecosystems that underpin many modern-day conservation efforts. The outcome continues to be a clash of worldviews in a globalizing society where the Western epistemologies governing dominant conservation practices operate in an echo-chamber that continues to erase other ways of knowing from conservation dialogue.
Indigenous knowledge and the shackles of wilderness
