update. . .

never doubt that a small group

of thoughtful committed citizens

can change the world.

indeed, it's the only thing

that ever has.

thank you all

for sharing my concern

about what's happening

at james price point

there are a band of people

working hard on the front line

to save this last great wilderness

from short-sighted industrialisation

you can read more

about what they are up to at

save the kimberley

and thanks to these girls

for helping to spread the word

and raise awareness

there is hope

sky grass earth

print by paul parin

once upon a time. . .

we used to camp

atop those red pindan cliffs

and climb down their rugged face

to swim in the blue green water

we'd cook our dinner

over the hot campfire

while we watched

the sun melt into the ocean

a place where humpbacks passed

and dugongs fed

true untouched wilderness

a magical place

an ancient land

rich in mythology

with shell middens and burial grounds

where song lines cross

this is walmadan

this is james price point

this is country

the western australian government

has chosen james price point

as the site for a major industrial gas hub

... the bulldozers have started clearing.

Only after the last tree has been cut down.
Only after the last river has been poisoned.
Only after the last fish has been caught.
Only then will you find that money cannot be eaten
