That was very interesting thank you.

The only knowledge I previously had of Pilbara was an interview I saw years ago with Lang Hancock (Australia's wealthiest woman Gina Rinehart's father for those unfamiliar), who from memory said he started his fortune flying through there. I checked, and yes...

So thanks for extending that little knowledge for me.

Hi there,

Glad this is of interest to you.

For a visual of the Pilbara the film 'Red Dog' (I cited in the book in the article) is a good start!

I wasn't aware of the jab protest in the Pilbara. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

How was your homeopathy practice received in that area?

Hello Jack!

Yes, the Pilbara is a gigantic and mostly untold story spanning eons!

Human-wise, some traditional owners say their song-lines span 50,000 years (https://www.saveoursonglines.org/post/statement-on-art-gallery-of-wa-protest).

More recently, the Barnett govt introduced (via a secret midnight sitting...) The Public Health Act 2016 (WA) allowing for compulsory vaccination in emergency situations. Living under the threat of this especially during 2020 and beyond is 'next level' for those in WA who actually know it exists.

And, also, I had lots of support among those I worked with in the Pilbara - people began voicing their 'praise' in 2012 (which can be seen (greatly abbreviated by law) on my website)

Cheers for your input Jack!

Sarah
