Notes: “Following the theme, ‘Its not
scenery, its home,’ the exhibition aims to present Kakadu
as a domestic landscape from pre-contact times to present day.....
There can be few places on earth which have been home to the
same people for so long. In this exceptional place, the past
and present intermingle. As Oodjeroo Noonuncal states in her
poem, ‘The Greening Years’:– "the past
is all around us, haunted by tribal memories”. Written
on the landscape and spoken through the voices of people is
the complex story of Aboriginal Culture. Collected together
in this exhibition, are some of these ‘writings’ and
some of these voices.’ (R. Simons – Concept Notes).
