ChocolateScorpi is so incredibly grateful to the the Bunurong Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin Nation, the traditional custodians of this beautiful land that I call home and I thank you for caring for it for so long.
I also want to extend my gratitude to the Gunaikurnai people, who are the Traditional Owners of much of Gippsland, including the Krauatungalung, Tatungalung, Brabralung, Brayakaulung, Brataualung clans, their elders, past, present, future and emerging as they too seek to take care of the Magnificent area that they have called home for tens of thousands of years.
I pay my respects to elders, past, present and emerging and offer our hand to all first nations hands in order to help heal all of our relationships to the earth on this truly magical and extraordinary island nation that we now all call home.

I enjoyed the whole tour of that beautiful store, what better place to take a nice souvenir. I also admire your thanks to all those who make it possible to maintain and preserve the place. Thank you for sharing. Greetings.🥰
Oh I'm so glad that you enjoyed it as much as me!
Oh if only I had more money, I would have bought sooo much more because there were so many gorgeous products in there and most of them were decorated using the Aboriginal dot painting style...
But atleast we now know where they are and What they have and we can always go back there again!
Infact I am going to back again because I want to do some more hiking and another tour, but next time I want to go into the Fairy Cave.
Just NOT in winter....brrrr
Wow! You did a real, professional documentary movie! It was great to hear about the Buchan area and its history!
PS. I suppose that for the name of these videos, you got inspired by the Banksy/not Banksy documentary... 😃
I had to find it again and check it out... :) Btw. if you didn't have it on your mind, here you are... :)
Haa yes, I haven't actually seen that one yet, but I have known about Banksy for a long time though, however there is also a much older movie called Exit through the Gift shop, kids movie too I think it was...I actually totally forgot about the Banksy doco...
