Sunday

Today was inspirational....I began my explorations at the australia museum with their 12 noon indigenous peoples exhibition...story telling , dancing and didgeridoo playing....it really added to what I had learned yesterday...helped to fill in the gaps...I saw the dancing that was talked about yesterday that the boys do to show they have learned about the animals they are to later hunt...their movements and sounds and actions and reactions.... there was also a very extensive exhibit on the aboriginal peoples of Australia...complete with videos of elders speakers...hands on activities leading up to modern art and the final apology made in 2008 by the prime minister..... a replica of a mission ....as well as cave paintings and so much more.....after the australia museum I went on the Barracks Museums...where I learned in depth about the convicts that came to Australia...and the British.....how their penal colonies went not only from there to american but to australia...and so much more...was incredible.....then i tried lamb for dinner....
