I have seen it when grass was as high as a car, and when wildflowers spread in every direction .I have sketched it’s landscape , it’s ancient gum trees , it’s spectacular wildlife .The wedge-tailed eagle and I spent many hours together, exploring it’s ridge tops . I have sat only feet from the eagle at it’s nest sight with two chicks as constant company . I have walked it sandy creek beds .Yes this place and I are one .It’s spirit is My spirit
In fact my eldest daughter took her very first footsteps in the Brachina creek . How many times have I sat around a campfire , talking of experiences with family and friends . My late mother and father and I experienced so many wonderful times sharing this jewel of mother Nature
