Sense of Place

Computers are the most frustrating things.
Always have a back up plan.
i.e. files and info saved on a separate disc - in which case I should practice what I preach.
So am getting you back on my files.
The sense of place refers to a evening talk I attended recently at the State Library in Adelaide by Hugh McKay.
It is about discovering your own special sense of place - whether it is a suburb and particular park/beach in Melbourne or multiple places that you know mean a lot to you. Hugh related this to the aboriginal experience of having sacred places - in that this is a human condition, to have a spiritual connection to a place.
I know that will be different for everyone. But it is not exclusive to a culture. Urban people have this sense of place too. Even when the place changes into a car park or worse(!)
Hugh talks regularly on radio national and has a few books out - I had a natter with him after the talk and he said is next book is on 'What makes us tick', this is in the Australian context.

Thanks for listening.
