After visiting Uluru and Alice Springs of Central Australia, fond memories of where the stars danced over the red dust, and a girl sat among the desert grasses, her face painted with the dreaming stories whispering of her ancestors. She was learning the old ways- her fingers nimble in the evening light, weaving strands of grass into toys and baskets, just as her grandmothers had done for generations. On her knee the toy that was made from every twist of grass around coloured wool was connection to country. It's eyes reflected the part spirit part comfort knowing the grass came from the earth beneath her.
