Poor guy, I know just how he feels. Yesterday I went with one of the local ladies to find a special weed that is used to do the Aboriginal cross hatch style painting that is unique to our area. We waded through slimy marshy water up to our knees to find just the right specimens. Then I had the luck of watching 6 men do paintings of mimi spirits and gingas and big barras. It is amazing the technique and accuracy they achieve with these weeds. I am still waiting for my new camera to arrive so I don't have pics of my own to show you but I borrowed a camera and took a couple and when I get copies of them I will pass along. In the meantime, this is Harry's story.
