I love it and it warms my heart when people still remember to
listen to the trees.
Thankfully Chillagoe is still such an outback township where visitors do not create much disturbance.
Although the first time I went there - I went there with a group of environmental students, who should have known better, yet upon arrival started to treat the area as their ‘playground’.
It drove me mad, because the ‘singing’ of the rock formations was so strong it was pulling me ‘under’ – yet I could not let the ‘singing’ carry/take me to an ‘altered state’ (to its ‘dreaming’, perhaps one could say), because of the loud yahooing.
So, I hear you
ImthatIm – know what you mean.
Those are the times when the cultural differences really hit home – hard.
