Editor's Notes
- Way back, before the current political climate, Australia was populated with peoples who had survived millennia upon a Land that sustained sophisticated peoples numbering 750 thousand to some 1.5 million or so peoples. There was no part of Australia where people did not live or know. This contradicts the wisdom of the new-comers who sent word of a great uninhabited Land, with a stone age resident incapable of understanding the ways of the times. They did nothing to describe fully the help that, originally the people of the Eora, gave to those disembarking the vessels sick and hungry, and ill equipped to deal with the Land before them. The people getting off the boats were quite unwell. They were sicker than those they left behind, and elicited a great deal of sympathy from the locals. And the healing treatments the newcomers received resulted in re-establishing wellness. And this is rarely acknowledged in history. And there are good reasons why people got well. I ’ ll speak of this later.
