The Grampians Collective 2

i.
The sandstone ridges
within reach, the snooze button.
Holiday on ‘pause’.

ii.
White people imposed
not just law & religion
but their four seasons*

*The Indigenous people of Australia mark time by six seasons - Season of Eels or Kooyang (late summer), Season of Honey Bees or Gwangal Moronn (Autumn), Season of Cockatoos or Chinnup (Winter), Season of Nesting Birds or Larneuk (Early Spring), Season of Wildflowers or Petyan (Spring), Season of Butterflies or Balalambar (Early Spring)

iii.
Mackenzie Falls – we
assess if it’s worth the climb;
Looks pretty from here.

iv. Guljurn Manja*

Cluster of handprints
A handful of young ones, thousands of
years old; old souls

*Flat Rock, an Aboriginal shelter

v.
The setting sun
Grazing kangaroos – it’s safe
A joey steps out

vi.
night driving
by full moon and reflectors
Real life Xbox
