[GC1] Deep Connections to the Land
Description: Deep cultural and spiritual connections with the land
exists within the bioregion of the Great Ocean Road coast; the
connection with Country
is evident in the Dreamtime Stories of the
Wadawurrung
and Gadubanud
peoples. Not necessarily obvious
and evident to European occupants, but certainly engraved within
the living structures of the land, constantly present in the
evolutionary process of the land.
Instruction: The spirit of the place, the sacred sites, needs to be
acknowledged, preserved and respected to allow for the evolution
of harmony between humans, nature and spirit. Identify the
connection to Country,
establish ordinances that will protect the
sacred sites, and build around the sites and places that people can
use to connect to it, including spaces that preserve it.
Relevance to Anglesea:
Aboriginal sacred sites exist along the Anglesea River and the
beach (middens). These sites must be protected.
