One Track For All
One Walk We Can All Learn From
"Telling the story of the southern Shoalhaven Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal history, from an Aboriginal perspective - a popular free attraction in Ulladulla.
The Aboriginal walking track has been constructed in a way that, from a higher vantage point or from the air, the two halves appear as two large goannas, with four carved platforms for some of the best views of the Ulladulla Harbour.
It is a cultural trail that will delight all, with the stories illustrated with carvings and paintings by local Aboriginal Elder Noel Butler, linking Indigenous culture with white man history." https://www.visitnsw.com/destinations/south-coast/jervis-bay-and-shoalhaven/ulladulla/attractions/one-track-all
One of the four lookouts, this one on the Northern loop of the walking track. Each one features carvings illustrating the history of the area from the perspective of First Nations people and the early settlers. From this point, the first ships were seen on the horizon and times were a'changing.
A steep track to a fishing spot.
A timber plank probably four metres long intricately carved to record daily life 250 years ago in this area.
An interaction that happened often here abouts.
In The southern section of the 4 km of trails is recorded the story of the early settlers - the timber cutters, the whalers, fishermen and sailors, the dairy farmers, and those that supported the many who lived around the Ulladulla region. The two halves are joined by a common theme - change. There were once 150 timber mills in the area, hundreds of fishing boats, and Dairy farming was the major agricultural industry. All gone now, as will this ironbark trunk, now etched by the strong morning light.
Look at this record of the fish s[species commonly caught in the area when the local industry supported 150 fishing trawlers - there are now two.
Behind the harbour and its boats, mostly recreational, is the modern township of Ulladulla.
When you enter or leave this wonderful trail you are greeted by an incongruous sight. This wonderful carving of a giant frog stands guard over a local book exchange!

Book Buddy Swap: Trying Something New
Lately, I’ve been feeling the need to get out of my bookish shell. In other words, I’ve been craving new ways to interact with the bookish community. However, finding new ways to do so is easier said than done.
So when I saw a post in one of my Facebook groups looking to connect book buddies, I knew it was the perfect thing for me. Basically, I signed on for a three-month book buddy swap, where…
