Steady on! Don't start a discrimination fight.

Thanks! Great idea! Where do you buy your bats? Will the Federal government provide me pink ones?

The issue of what to believe about indigenous historic culture and indigenous capabilities will only get murkier and murkier as time passes. Too many people are sharpening their ability to manipulate unverifiable stories, to help justify their agendas, on either side. Too many decisions are made by people who do not have first hand experience with the people most affected by the outcomes of high level decisions about large amounts of money. The recent generations are not particularly closely connected to their ancient culture. They were born into a newer spectrum of cultures that are mostly neither mainstream (ie like the majority of the present population) nor of the historic traditional indigenous values and behaviours. Whatever. Arguments aside, I don't believe that many (or any?) indigenous or part indigenous would choose to return to their great grand father's life on the land, even if that was possible. It is not The same goes for the rest of the population of Australia. So the question is, "just what do these disenfranchised people wish to achieve?" Therein lies the biggest cause of the constant noise.

I'd go so far as to apply that to any state government.

Don't bother standing on the seat... The crabs in here can jump six feet!

Aaaah, sweet memories. And best if all, Blue Hill, by Gwen Meredith.... only went for 15 minutes!

On the back of the door of our motel in Lakes Entrance. It looks like they are having trouble with the crabs....

Thanks. As you know, deserts are regularly brlow zero degrees. I don't get an impression that it was very common, otherwise I would see historic paintings and early records of lots of clothed people. Any idea what they traditionally used for tanning and softening hides? I am just trying to work out how much of the modern narrative is a case of cherry picking, done to suit the polarised narratives on both sides.

Is there verified history of Australian indigenous tanning hides? Or wearing warm fur skin coats in the freezing desert nights? Are there eatly pictures of them carrying a lot in their hands?

You are forgiven 🙂

Marty, you missed his point. He was not supporting trumpy, he was highlighting some reasons for so many disillusioned americans supporting trump. For what it's worth, my opinion is that the Dems are overlooking those reasons. They might swing a lot of voters toward their camp if they promised to overhaul the big governmental bureaucracy. That might help to restore faith in government.

Is there evidence of grain carrying backpacks? Dilly bags were not large, and water containers were not common. When you are walking any distance with limited carrying capacity, there are problems after you are already carrying infants, digging sticks, woomeras, boomerangs, spears, nulla nullas, goods to trade, seeds to plant, etc.

I didn't expect Supercheap to be selling headlights that were only suitable (& legal) in LHD countries such as USA and Europe. It pays to double check everyting!

Europeans have not had to follow seasonal food routes for many thousans of years. Basically since they developed animal husbandy and farming. So not a fair comparison. I have to agree about the many Australian indigenous languages. It pretty much proves that there was actually not much interaction between tribal groups. However, such details as language, travel habits, and food sources really are a sideline when it comes to the topic of 'sovereignty '

Yes, been caught with that before. Bought a pair of 7" headlights from supercheap and didn't figure out why I couldn't get them aimed properly. There was tiny lettering embossed on the glass - LHD.

It's not like you to tell sexist jokes.

There is that point, but at the same time there is the issue of 'songlines' which is the use of song to teach and recall the navigation information essential to travel great distances beyond the tribal back fence - across neighbouring territories, and informing where to find water and food along the way. Nomadic? Separately from the wandering, I question the liklihood of propagating crops when travelling on foot, limited to what each member can carry. A handful of seeds is unlikely to get far. If it was done, wouldn't we find the same common food plants around every waterhole and other suitable patch?

For proof....see the USA

07 outlander. She has cateracts. I have polished her eyes a couple of times. New headlights have always been around $700 ea. But in US they are half that, then add $200 'freight'.

The Cambridge dictionary does not mention 'raids'. "a member of a group of people who move from one place to another rather than living in one place all of the time: " So, despite it hijacking my monika, nomadic describes the early Australian indigenous peoples.

Couldn't find Cheap replacement headlights for our Mitzi. Cheap replacement Chinese clear plastic lenses are $100 ea.but I'm not sure they would last as well as the originals

But some are more rank than others.

I don't care. I'm still not giving up food. My mum once told me 'If you don't eat, you don't shit. If you don't shit, you die.'

C'mon Jerry. Catch up. OME's renovation is half finished already. That only leaves him 90% to go.

The point is, each AI is still learning. It is young but gradually it will learn to spell as poorly as the rest orf us.
