Growing up not comfortable exactly, therewere deaths and silences and other difficult things,when you talk about that history later peopleare sometimes lost for words. But as you aregrowing up, things happen to other people which youobserve, not fully understanding.

It is the year 2060, and we are driving through Kullilli Country, also known as the Channel Country, a Bio-Region defined by its waterways. This ‘State’ was called ‘Queensland’ after Queen Victoria in 1859, and this was in the south-west corner. But really it is where Max’s people come from. At a turnoff on a dirt track there is a wooden sign, with ‘MUSEUM’ roughly painted in white, and an arrow. A few hundred metres down the track is an old tin shed, a shearing shed, surrounded by a few casuarinas.

Almost-earthling artefacts are sharpening the blades of consumerist desire by ventriloquising aliveness and kinship.
