Room with a View

ย Boora Point – this whole area is so interesting – industrial dump site, sewerage treatment plant, gun forts, rifle range, horse riding club and thats just in the last hundred years or so.

The history is fairly well documented, except for the crazy industrial waste that was put there, kind explains why your nuts glow after visiting . That documentation only extends to the last hundred years, try and find some info on the local aboriginal history and about the best you can find is….. the name of the place… Boora or Bora point, which i believe translates into initiation. Maybe its the place local aboriginal kids had to go and spend their initiation time.

Time and the elements are claiming it back, the old forts are literally falling down – thats some quality building there imagine if it ever had to take a shell in enemy fire, brand new i reckon you would have been stuffed…
good place to watch the whales from… until they boarded it up

The Brothers…

Adapted from Harry Buchanan (1975)

“There were 3 brothers who lived near the Camden Haven River near the sea. As part of their initiation, they were required to live alone in the bush for several months before they would be recognised as fully initiated. After being in the bush for several months they began to worry about their mother and father, so the youngest brother volunteered to go and check up on them. Just as he left the camp he saw an old witch but paid her no attention. He told his parents about her when he reached them, and his father gave him a special boomerang, and told him to quickly return to his brother’s camp to warn them that the witch would try to kill them. The youngest brother headed back to his brother’s camp but did not make it there by night fall, at first light he continued his journey but the witch was at the camp when he arrived. He asked the witch what she had done to his two brothers, and she replied that she had eaten them and would eat him too. Before the witch had a chance to do anything, the youngest brother hit her on the head with the boomerang and split her in half. He buried half her body in the river and half in the sea. Then returned to his brother’s camp and gathered up their bones. He buried their bones where the North and Middle Brother mountains now stand, then went to where the South Brother mountain now stands and died. That night a mountain rose up where each body lay to mark the tragedy. The mountains were then named after the Three Brothers.”
