I you know one of the things that struck me about that high country was the lack of archaeological sites i guess and you know I was engaged in 2003-4 as a sub-consultant with an archaeologist called Joanna uh Freslov so i assisted in providing direction on where to look for archaeological sites and you know put a lot more dots on the map and it’s one of those things i guess you know there’s been a lot of flora of the of the alps or the high country being written about but no uh first nations knowledge in amongst that .

So it’s broadening that knowledge base and um providing people with i suppose more of a background of our history and connection the country that’s a continuation of you know uh starting way back in 97 and just seeing what’s there and then exploring you know places that that you know from a different uh mindset from a different uh with different eyes and providing um our knowledge to this landscape as opposed to mountain cattlemen or skiers or uh bush walkers yeah you know years of experience and you know you can read about stuff but it’s actually feel touch and taste um that’s what it’s really about and understanding um that you’re you’re a part of that that world but you know you generally don’t live in it you know you you connect but you’re not connected uh you know uh and it’s look it’s the same sort of along the coast sometimes or even back in the footy all said you know it’s really those animals that they’re 24 7 that are actually the residents and we’re just we’re tourists
