The Pilbara

oldest earth, survival and staunch bravery !

From 2011 - 2022, my home was the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

‘The landscape is extraordinary, being composed of vast heaps of dark red earth and rock poking out of the never-ending bush. I imagine that Mars must have a similar feel to it.’ Louis de Bernières.¹

As a one time Pilbarian, the Friday 11th Oct Port Hedland Special Meeting of Council vote to denounce, suspend and publicize the dangers of all COVID-19 mRNA Biological Injections was both unsurprising to me and actually, expected.

Why?

Three years ago few Pilbarian’s bought what was being sold…

‘‘…Just 2.5 per cent of the population in the Pilbara has been fully vaccinated, which is well below the state average of 6.4 per cent…’’²

The Pilbara has a strong tradition of resistance and civil action.

For example, Ernie Dingo, Yamaji man and ‘vax the outback’ campaigner attempting to boost flailing Indigenous vaccination rates³ was chased out of the town of Roebourne by elders on 29 November 2021.

The ultimate survivalists, indigenous peoples have lived in the Pilbara for 46,000 years through previous massacres⁴ and intentional corporate destruction.⁵

The Pilbara Aboriginal Strike 1946-1949

Indigenous peoples walked off stations at the start of shearing in defiance of the Aborigines Act 1905 (WA).

In 1945, marrngu of the Pilbara met in Port Hedland to discuss the growing dissent of typically un-waged station ‘employment’ discussing the purchase of their ‘own’ land and inviting the local Copper to attend.⁶

A mob of strikers arrested in May 1946 were quickly released due to public pressure - a gathering of two hundred people!, in Port Hedland.⁷

Acts of civil disobedience continued for three years in spite of heavy handed policing.

In 1949 the Native Affairs inspectors warning of ‘plenty of police and plenty of jails’ led to union action in support of the strikers.⁸

During the longest strike in Australia, the people of the Pilbara inspired many other communities to fight for their rights.

Protestors block Pilbara road

In 2021, three people cemented themselves to the road in the middle of a causeway⁹ cutting off the Pilbara's Burrup Peninsula to protest gas hub development - causing MAJOR DISRUPTION.

The Burrup is home to over one million petroglyphs which are being destroyed.¹⁰¹¹

During 2021, Mark McGowan Western Australia’s premiere traitor-in-chief (2017-2023) stated that he’d just change the law¹² if The Conservation Council of Western Australia won their supreme court challenge¹³ ‘to prevent the release of billions of tons of carbon pollution and impacts to Aboriginal heritage values on the Burrup Peninsula’, which was ultimately lost.

On a personal note, in 2011 I established the first homeopathy practice in North West Australia based in the Pilbara town of Karratha, and in the aftermath of the 2015 government pseudoscientific NHMRC homeopathy report¹⁴ (which expanded to threaten all natural medicine in Australia¹⁵) I met with my local Pilbara representative - his genuine concern, motivation and support both shocked and bolstered my colleagues and was evidenced officially;

Pilbara rock is the best-preserved example of the world’s most ancient crust, so ancient in fact that it contains no fossils - yet fossilized stromatolites (still living ‘just down the road’ at Shark Bay) the Earth’s oldest lifeforms, are found upon it.

Indigenous peoples have been meeting in Karijini, within the Pilbara interior, for over 40,000 years.

Yindjibarndi and Ngarluma elder Pilbara tour guide Clinton Walker states;¹⁶

“Because we know life, as a people we’ve always known [human] life started here,”

“The world began here, everything began here. So, from our perspective, we’ve never believed we came from anywhere else except here and that we were created in this landscape by beings much more advanced than us, who also taught us all our knowledge.”

To remain human we must first acknowledge and then fight for our supremacy…

Town of Port Hedland Councillor Adrian McRae told Letters From Australia that five of eight council members had been injured by COVID-19 mRNA Biological Injections, one suffering myocarditis.
