Thank you for the invitation! Even though I don't live there, I am very interested in the southern hemisphere; Australia and New Zealand have fasinated me since childhood. Now that my eldest is now a resident of NZ (we plan to visit her early next year) I feel this part of the planet calling me to come and learn more about its mysteries, history and much more.

There are many 'tribes' we are called by our 'language groups' but this is not our own names, the Europeans named us after our language and what words we used to say 'no'. I have been working hard to preserve the "Sydney" language, they were first to be impacted and many thought the language was lost....hence I have joined the fight to get it back out there. My mob are Gamilaroi, from northern New South Wales, cool you still got that pic, one of my own that I keep to remind me of back up home. The old maps say there were 500-600 fifferent 'tribes', sadly only a fraction survived the Goverments genocide and assimilation policies., but we are clawing back, the land needs us to stand up and it appears to be turning back, we live in hope but many are surprised at the dilemma our people are in and what has 'actually' happened to us rather than the PR thats been put out for last ohhh 200 years.
I am passionate as you know about my culture, and a core element for me is preserving our languages, speaking about 5-6 now, with any fluency.... good to hear from you my friend....oh..."budyari" means good, gumari means 'afternoon', and didjuirigora is like "thankyou very much", these are Darug language, the "sydney people', and boy have I got some stories , about spirit, about culture, a lot has been happening that others say they can't explain, hehehe, lots lookin my way and jaws droppin....fill yu in later hey, big thunder storm outside, gotta go out there and get 'charged'....talk to ya in a bit my friend.

Warami, budyari gumari my friend, been walkabout in the "dreamtime' for a bit, how are you my friend. I am teaching language these days and don't have as much time for just me lately. I see you liked them files I sent hey? Got a heap more if ya interested, I been experiencing some very..ummm...some may say strange 'occurrences' of late....my path becomes more focussed yet seems to pull in many diverse aspects it appears. Teaching Darug language at moment and have a lot of irons in the fire, community wise, busy as ever but my spirit has been rewarded over and over, some people are looking my way and asking questions like, how did he do that, how did he find that, it's amazing how fast he is laerning different Aboriginal languages etc etc....
hope you are well, I have much to post for those interested in my culture....just ask...Budyari gumari , didjuirigora my friend.

CODE OF RIGHT RELATIONSHIP

1. Speak only words of truth.

2. Speak only of the good qualities of others.


3. Be a confidant and carry no tales.


4. Turn aside the veil of anger to release the beauty inherent in all.


5. Waste not the bounty, and want not.


6. Honour the light in all. Compare nothing; see all for its suchness.


7. Respect all life; cut away ignorance from one’s own heart.
