The River needs some urgent attention with far too much rubbish along the banks.

It not only identifies the place, the indigenous names and meanings but also pronounces them.

I think it is important we acknowledge the Kaurna people and their heritage on which Adelaide was built upon. ]]> 2017-08-03 02:25:48 UTC https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/ftedz9kfdb5o/wish/180004502 swipk001 https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/ftedz9kfdb5o/wish/180005250 2017-08-03 02:32:30 UTC https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/ftedz9kfdb5o/wish/180005250 jfer_graphics https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/ftedz9kfdb5o/wish/180032076 After reading about the River Torrens being a sacred River known by the Kaurna people  as the Karrawirraparri it put this walk into a different perspective for me. (historic enviornment, 2015) I felt conflicted to the see the new hospital erected despite it being a  significant area to the culture and heritage of the Kaurna people, (with their request in 2009 to have this site listed as an Aboriginal heritage site being rejected).  However I’m sure the hospital will be of  benefit toboth indigenous and non indigenous people. With the developments along the riverbank perhaps it would be appropriate to see something of this sacred area preserved for the Kaurna people.]]> 2017-08-03 10:51:22 UTC https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/ftedz9kfdb5o/wish/180032076 https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/ftedz9kfdb5o/wish/180161186 On my walk I came across this site. The artwork they made here for the Kaurna people is really interesting and I think it's nice to see all these tributes dedicated to the Aboriginal culture along the West side.]]> 2017-08-05 03:51:38 UTC https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/ftedz9kfdb5o/wish/180161186 jfer_graphics https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/ftedz9kfdb5o/wish/180166361 Thanks for sharing that Yvonne :)]]> 2017-08-05 10:21:28 UTC https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/ftedz9kfdb5o/wish/180166361 https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/ftedz9kfdb5o/wish/180196429 I also seemed to have issues with the "game"and was unable to submit my answers into the app. I did however find the walk very interesting - the main thing that caught my interest was the difference that such a seemingly short amount of time had changed the land and the difference the years have made to Adelaide. Being able to compare the original painting by William Light in 1837 to the same area on North Terrace today was an eye opening experience. The walk also brought to my attention some very beautiful indigenous artwork I had never seen before, even though I had walked those same routes several times. ]]> 2017-08-06 13:42:24 UTC https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/ftedz9kfdb5o/wish/180196429 erin_rispen https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/ftedz9kfdb5o/wish/180247612 2017-08-07 07:43:23 UTC https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/ftedz9kfdb5o/wish/180247612 https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/ftedz9kfdb5o/wish/180254221 2017-08-07 10:12:01 UTC https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/ftedz9kfdb5o/wish/180254221 https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/ftedz9kfdb5o/wish/180701494 It was very interesting to see that the information on the walk gave us an insight into Indigenous Australians and their culture. It also shocked me when I realised the amount of information, tributes and artworks although I walk part of the route every week. ]]> 2017-08-11 05:09:08 UTC https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/ftedz9kfdb5o/wish/180701494 https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/ftedz9kfdb5o/wish/180872777
On my walk, I saw this great book on the table. so many interesting and beautiful pictures showing the Aboriginal people coiling different basket, making string and exploring the possibilities of coiling]]> 2017-08-14 03:54:02 UTC https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/ftedz9kfdb5o/wish/180872777
