I also think it is a wonderful idea to get a Country directory together.
But for now can I ask Susanne (or anyone else) if she knows who the
traditional custodians of Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park are and how I can
get in contact with them.
I am in Wurundjerri Country (Melbourne) now but used to live in Sydney. I
took some elders from the Western Desert to look at rock carvings in
Ku-ring-gai some years ago and they began 'reading' the meanings of the
carvings out of the ground for me.
I have made various unsuccessful attempts to find out if there are any
people who still maintain custodianship of this site. Because I felt that if
the stories/meanings of these sites have been lost in the process of
colonisation there might be some surviving ancestors who would value knowing
what my friends 'read' there.
If the stories are surviving knowledge then I would be interested, (if
it is considered culturally appropriate to share them) to know how they
compare.
