Tuesday Day 24

Interviewed Gail–who is an intense local artist, photographer and aboriginal. I am given a very clear picture of the unspoken racism against other communities including the Jewish one, where many jews have aryianised their names in response. The layers of governance through Free-masonry and Catholicism in the town discussed. A number of further contacts are given, which need to be explored.

Responded by looking up all the aboriginal words for water- of which there are very many and all are musical. e.g.

Aroona -Flowing water

Arltunga- Water hole

Awoonga- Sheet of water

This may be a solution to the sound track. Cycled the length of Bendigo creek with the video camera-dry and the remaining trickle busily being encased in pipe-work by orange clad workers. Continued editing with some success at finding the visual genre.
