I live on Wiradjuri country and part of the Kamilaroi Nation. I follow rugby league but a lot less than before they introduced the Super League. That caused a lot of friction in the league and across the supporter base of teams, in my view. As you may be thinking, I remember telegrams, but not Morse Code. I exercise regularly and enjoy good friends. I find this valuable to feeling well and connected.

Hey there
from Kamilaroi country and always striving to get back onto country to refocus and release negative energies.
Being on country helps much with managing wellbeing and self care. Just being able to swim in traditional waters and being surrounded by a sense of security is the best

Nothing better than feeling country between your toes and having that connection. It’s like the conduit is complete again and again with every step.
It’s the same feeling I get relaxing in the healing waters of Kamilaroi country.
Takes away so much anxiety and stress

The ocean and moving water always has a connection to saltwater people.
Just the sound and movement makes people so relaxed. It can be mesmerising and be just as good as being on country.
Even for a freshwater person, the ocean draws you near with the sound alone.
