teaching history?...

'The curriculum draft acknowledges that other knowledges+civilisations (e.g. Eastern+Indigenous) have worldviews+cultures worth knowing. It asks students to think about their own place in time+in the world, + asking them to think about what is unique about being Australian.' ⏳⏳ https://t.co/yUqP4th3mm

The term ‘history’ refers to how someone has tried to reconstruct ‘the past’ in a way that we can understand. Most of the time, ‘history’ is when a professional historian writes a book to explain what a society, culture, person, or event might have been like, based upon the evidence that remains.

alien feathers in the neighbourhood...

The feathered Dromana locals are far from happy when a crow decides to visit the neighbourhood...
This crow was dive-bombed incessantly today... pic.twitter.com/3D41F01Cwt

2 galahs on the foreshore...

2 Galahs enjoyed the Dromana foreshore world today...
I was pleased to see that walkers quietly walked around them so as not to disturb them... pic.twitter.com/RjxFVXDkxF

shrinking Dromana beach...

Walked Dromana beach foreshore after supermarket shopping this morning. I was horrified. If I thought Dromana beach was shrinking in recent years, I am certain that is what is happening now...
The channels are obvious+the beach width is significantly less than in last summer... pic.twitter.com/pk3lVYRnsp

Another view of Dromana beach where it meets Anthony's Nose...
Yes...the beach is shrinking...fast...
I'm quite sure that soon Dromana beach will be cut off from the tiny Anthony's Nose beach+boat ramp area...No continuous walking the 2 beaches anymore except maybe at low tide... pic.twitter.com/3YWAoB4aYL

real-life living on the land...

The real-life of living on the land is beyond a romantic dream...
It can be a very dark place...
A dark reality...
And it need not be...
If only there was a little political empathy...and action... https://t.co/Mnl9ZQITtl
