Historic site.

Historic site.

So I went to the town 2 hrs away today. On the way home I thought I would call into the historic grave of an indigenous person. I didn’t feel any spirit at all but Jett felt something. He was scared and I had to take home back to the car. 

He was buried in 1858. His grave is marked but a European headstone. However the aboriginals planted 5 trees around the site. 4 remain and 3 are living. Here are photos of the carvings. 

That is the picture of carving and how the tree has grown around it. The other photo is what was carved in the 1800’s

Re: Historic site.

The clear carving was done in 1951.

Re: Historic site.

I actually look for a cultural centre in the town I was in today. But they don’t have one. 

The town I stopped in on the way there had a wedge-tailed eagle. It’s their totem. 

Seeing the eagle started all the wonder today. 

I drove past the site in the way there and just though. Yep I’m finally going to check it out on the way home.

 

I have seen the sign many times but today I just felt the need to go. I can’t explain it. I just had to do it. 

 

Sorry that’s why. It’s like it called me in today. @ArraDreaming

Re: Historic site.

Yeah, I thought it might of been something like that @Captain24 sometimes the world just calls us to do something and then it turns out it was pretty great
Can I give you an example of that happening for me today as well?
We are about to move house, and I have packed everything up into the garage, I was going through a box of things of my mum…. don’t have a lot of info on her or photos etc only memories and some things 


And my son offered to help me and I thought errr this stuff is pretty special to me so i will let him help me but I don’t want him to break anything or rip any of the pages or stuff like that, I was worried if would find one of mums notebooks and want to use it
Anyway he found a pic of mum, I don’t know where he found it but it was in the tub somewhere I never noticed it
