Traveling to Paris and back inspired me to explore and think about the whole journey. My ancestors travelled by foot everywhere. My country was the Gunditjmara - Kirrae Whurrong and our countries were neighbors to the Kolakgnat Country, (Colac area). Today countries of course are now global, so Australia is a country and its neighbors are Asia, New Zealand etc. In the past somehow my ancestors could see what their country's shape was as though they could go up and see their country from above. Now we fly in aeroplanes and can see the land we travel over from above. This view reminded me of how my ancestors visualised and knew their country. These views almost tell, a new story of the land and how it is formed. The plane too reminded me of Bunjil the Creator spirit fly over the land caring for and protecting our lands.
