Desperate to find more folks obsessed with #PillarsofEternity #Avowed #Eora

Please boost :)

Long before #Sydney Opera House excavations began in the 1950s, the site – known as Tubowgule – was a meeting point for the local #Gadigal people of the #Eora nation.

The area was strewn with the debris of family feasts and ceremonies, creating myriad ancestral middens over thousands of years.

With the arrival of the first fleet, convict women were put to work collecting the oyster shells and bones from the middens, burning them down to create the lime that formed the cement mortar that built Australia’s first Government House, which overlooks #Bennelong Point to this day.

Looking west along the Hawkesbury River from Lamberts Peninsula, in Ku Ring Gai Chase National Park. The Hawkesbury marks the northern edge of the Sydney Basin, and the northern edge of the lands of the Eora Nation.

Free #SydneyFestival Event:

On the evening of 25 January we will gather along the shoreline of #Barangaroo Reserve and look out across the water towards Me-Mel (formerly Goat Island).

In 2023, the annual tradition of ‘Vigil’ takes on a new form, celebrating the re-awakening of the #spirit of this precious island, which has been a key landmark of #SydneyHarbour for several hundred years and a #SacredPlace for the clans of #Eora for tens of thousands.

A night of shared emotions through songs and #songlines, a night of opening hearts and listening." - The Guardian
