A Journey Without End

‘Going Back To The Nation’

In mid October 1995 I was invited to attend the ‘Strength Through Unity Reconciliation Festival’ in Brewarrina - a ten thousand year old gathering place on the bend of N.S.W.’s Barwon river.

You could feel the oppression of Brewarrina and the peoples living there. An unrelentless devastation.

Social changes are desperately needed in Australia and the Indigenous peoples deserve more freedom. To this day I can still recall the emotions I experienced being in this place..a place where your every move is observed and challenged.
