I've always wondered why, when europeans displaced native people, we discarded their knowledge and understanding of the area. They know these places. We struggle more than necessary to survive rather than trust and learn from the folks that have done it forever.

Exactly! We lived under this big myth for nearly 200 years that Aboriginal people were nomadic and had no agriculture! But theres descriptions in historical texts and evidence on our landscape that made this a lie. And all of those years of imposing European systems on the land. Now you see.farmers going through awful suffering and as much as I sympathise part of me wonders that if 200 odd years ago we had have listened to the original inhabitants rather that slaughtered and dispossessed them if the story would have been different, both here and the world over.
