Darwin -

Darwin. - my temp home for the last 4 months. Will be my home for the next 2 months.
Australia is one of my home. My blog should start from here. Darwin is a strange place. It's one of most beautiful part of the world. The water is clear and the air is sticky and the fish is big and tasty. This is what world should be like less human and more parks and trees. I always thought about people in Darwin. Be aware people who live here aren't normal. High percentage of crazy people. (Maybe I belong here with the crazies). Eg: Traver the rubbish warrior who collect rubbish and make 'art' on the grass next to the footpaths. One day I was happy to watching him in action. The love and energy he puts into his 'art' is second to none.

Northern Territory belongs to a lost race. Everyone (including themselves) calls them black fellas. They are aboriginal. They are another group of native who is close to the spirt of land and elements. They are the rightful owner of the land. They are the carer of the land. Or at least use to be.
Over the black fella radio 94.5 I heard this song. It goes: before the white fellas came, we will happy, there were no wine, we hunt and we live. Before the white fellas came, there ware no beer....
The whites took their land. Expect them go to work and live in a material world with house and car. Teach them drinking and shop in supermarket. Taking land and cultural away from them, expected them to live in our modern society? How could they be not lost. The are homeless from home, just like animals in a cut down forest. This is no longer their dream time...
