- Abstract
Quote, page 123: "Following the recent failure via a referendum in October 2023 to endorse the First People's Voice to Parliament, it is clear the Australian nation has deep divisions yet to be healed. Where is the healing glue? Is it not possible that this glue resides in the reality of common ground, in communal exploration and celebration of the unified land-people context?
From ancient occupants to present descendents, for both scientists and Traditional Owners, a mutual sense of learning awaits discovery across the cultural divide. My story here is but one small example. Others will expand the sense of land-people unity, a sense that must define a new meaning for the currently divisive 26 January celelbration of "Australia Day". The unified efforts of geology and archaeology will continue to plough that ground."
