Eden- Bushwalk

Our excursion today was to Beowa ( "bee-wah") /Ben Boyd National Park.

On arrival we saw a Goanna- great big lizard- they get up to a meter long.

Our Guide was Graham- his mother is indiginous and he grew up learning all the native traditions and healing. He did a Welcome/cleansing ceremony before we walked on the sacred land.

We did a bit of a bushwalk, and saw a couple of kangaroos. They were pretty far away, but trust me- they're 'roos. (We also saw plenty of roo poo.) We had a treat of tea and biscuits (cookies). We learned about the role of fire in regeneration of the forest- and in particular, the need for fire to pop open the seed pods in the cones, so that the birds can eat the seeds,poop them out, and the cycle repeats.
