When visiting Melbourne this year I got to check out their excellent museum and within it, the Bunjilaka Cultural Centre. It was equal parts awesome and sad, knowing what has happened and what continues to happen to the indigenous people of that batshit and incredible land. Bunjil's wings was a favourite. nestled in that cozy space listening and watching. It was mesmerizing.

Thanks for commenting, Foveaux. It's been years since I visited the Melbourne Museum (despite living only 10 minutes' walk from it) and I'm not sure the Bunjilaka Cultural Centre was there when I was last there. I'll have to go back and check it out.
