Observations from the lookout of the Bruny island neck (Tasmania) - where there is a small tribute plaque to Truganini (last surviving tribal Aborigine - many desendants still on the islands) - a truly beatuful place, but with a certain troubled past:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truganini
On the neck of Bruny island
Tributes to Truganini
Aquamarine sea
Exploding surf
No penguins.
Vistas unmatched
Bluffs that hide nothing
A pencil thin streak of land
And dome of blue devours the mind
Long brown ribbons bronzed by midday sun
Beaches either side
A wavy line of road sketched in
The pen, the eye, the breath,
Barely captures the sky
Cameras lie about beauty
Here it’s a greater thing than a word.
Pepople of the book that tides brought in
Time immemorial, here no more.
