I am not Indigenous if, by that, you mean descended from the original inhabitants. However I love and feel country whenever I travel. Uluru moves me for reasons I cannot understand, the Kimberley makes me feel incredibly lucky and the waves of sand dunes that go on forever make me feel insignificant. But most of all I feel a part of every bit of it. I am aware that it was another peoples home before my ancestors came and I am mindful of that.
I am not Indigenous but it is my home. I am lucky, indeed.
