This is a very long ‘story..We (I) always think we have to travel to far destinations.,to find new stories, new faces..’.Now .I live in Broome, Western Australia, a ‘very’ beautifull part of the world , I can say this because I have travelled a lot..But here right under my own (very) big nose, is also a lot happening and there are amazing faces and people to be seen…and also a lot of destruction and there are many sad stories to be told…under those sad and scarred faces live beautifull people and i like to share this with you..it will be a ‘journey’’ and I know it will not always be easy maybe dangerous? but that does not stop my drive..Today my husband asked me to bring my camera to our Restaurant to make some shots of our newly arrived import which hangs in our restaurant, so i took the shots and after work I just had this strong urge to walk into the mangroves, behind our local liquorshop and see if I could find these people,..the homeless, the drunks, the scarred and ‘lost’ souls….My teenage daughter and our kitchenhand where asking where I was going? Oh I said I’ll go to the mangroves…No don’t thats to dangerous by yourself…I’ve spent 1 1/2 hours and had a wonderfull time..Oh yes it’s rough but boy I love those people…..I hope I dont offend anybody because that is not my intentention, my intention is to show the beauty and the life of this people and I will try to make a whole series and make notes of their “stories’ of how life treats them….. / My website
I will continue my story, which started with Mr.Moscow #1, this morning at around 10 am, Rebecca, one of the women who was sitting under the family tree with the ‘local’ mob with Mr. Moscow ,came to my restaurant and asked ‘miss are you coming again today, cause my friend wants to see you too’’ I love to come now I said, but I have to work, I come later ok, ‘after work’ maybe 3 pm..ok miss.. Later in afternoon 2 men came to my shop with the biggest boab, yesterday they where carving it, ‘miss, boab is now finished, you come mangroves, with feed?’ later I said, I’m bit busy in shop, but I will come, ..ok miss…I decided to make a nice feed for them so I made 2 plastic bags ready with rice, chicken, beef&lamb, some nice bread and softdrinks, 2 bags, for 2 groups, cause they ‘sitting’ under different trees..I even put some newspaper in the bags to use as tablecloth!.finally with ‘another’ lens 70-200 2.8L ,I went to the trees,...there was NOBODY there…s*&^% what I do now ?, i thought, I went back to the shop, emptied 1 bag and was determined to get rid off the other bag, I jumped in my old cruiser and decided to drive to the main “oval’ cause in the afternoon and especially at night are big crowds…ok a deep breath and i jumped out of the car and walked in a straight line to a group of maybe 9 people….1 lady (thanks God) regognised me and screamed “Miss, what now?” so I sat down with them and one lady attacked my bag with feed, but they told her off, and the biggest women (will get her name later) started chatting and did not stop till after 2 hours..it was ‘again’ a very interesting experience..hey miss. all white fellows looking at you sitting here, oh I said ,they jeaulous,..they all had to laugh.. they want me to come back and tell their stories, well thats exactly what i want, great I will come back, and we sit down again, and I’ll take feed and a pen and paper!! cause I can’t remember there names,also. they gave me two names, one for sister and one Aboriginal, skinname,..so I HAVE to go back and tell you’s later..

oil on canvas 106×76cm This is a depiction of what may have been had Europeans listened learnt and embraced the Aboriginal Culture in 1788. This is not an indigineous painting. I have attempted to show European development of Australian landscape overlaid by Aboringinal landscape and culture. These are images from within my mind after living in Austalia for 48 years. It is my thoughts of a different landscape would exist one richer and healthier and thereby by default all the inhabitants of this great land may have shared a wealth of knowledge culturally and spiritually perhaps an existance with more balance.
