Western Australia: The Traditional land-owners 'Sharing the stories'.

Kwinana residents wait patiently to listen to listen to stories told by one of the Aboriginal elders. The Aboriginal people shared these tales on a beautiful summer afternoon, at their fire-pit. They also shared their food and invited us to take part in the smoking ceremony. The sensational stewed kangaroo and  vegetables will go down in history. The local Noongars have invited the local Kwinana people each year, to share this place. Unbelievably, the government has approved and  is about to rip through the wetlands with a highway for trucks to Fremantle harbour.
