A great day

Yes @utopia

Confronting it is - when it comes to Heritage - I am Anglo-Celtic - my father was English and on my mother's side somehow everyone in that part of my family tree seems to have come from Northern Ireland - so I am British as well as Australian

My dd though has a First-Fleeter on her Father's side - and she is proud of that I think - she's a 6th generation Australian and feels all-Aussie - not pretty-British like me - but then I grew up with my English grandparents and father

About history being confronting - as I had grown-up with the War in my Memory - and hearing about the Great War all my childhood - I was not as confronted with the diorama at the War Memorial as some of the other people who were there. Because of my spine I am always very cautious moving around other people and found many of them standing in ag doorway or in the middle of a room staring at something in a very dazed state - which I admit gave me something else to think about.

For me War History is not as confronting as it is for some other people. The whole morning gave me something else to think about and I am thinking about this until today

I like it that my life seems to be on a constant learning curve

Good morning @utopia, Congratulations on your findings. It is great that you will be part of the documentation of it all as well. That is such wonderful news and you must be so proud.

An aboriginal story teller came to a festival at our local park during the year. He was great. Afterwards we showed him through the local museum, there he found photos of his distant family. He stood there and cryed, he was so happy that they had been documented somewhere, (in our tiny local museum) but it was there for him to share with the rest of his family. this work is so important.

Con Grats again.

Hello @pip, hope your new job is going great for you. Have you finished your training?.

Love and hugs to all.
