I’m in Perth – finally having travelled to each of Australia’s states and territories. On the way over, I saw a couple of amazing sights from the plane. The first was the coast of the Great Australian Bight. Cloudless, the picture was of a strong blue ocean meeting forrest in a sharp edge. The dark green moved stronly away from the shore for some hundreds of kilometres before mottling with the pale brown of desert sands until there was nothing left but desert.
The second looked like salt lakes, grey blobs edged with sandy beaches before giving way to the forrest green. The highlight here was that thousands of these lakes pressed together in patterns that looked like traditional aboriginal drawings. Clearly aboriginies (who’s presence defies explanation, having arrived 40,000 years ago, before any other culture had seagoing vessels) were brought here by aliens and saw it from the air. Either that or they have a stronger bond with this country htan even I believed.
