I stand corrected. You're very right when you said that the first English settlers in America were not through Penal colonization. However, they were still the outcast citizens of England. <BR/><BR/>Hey, you know more about our history than I do. This goes to show that I should educate myself more on the history of my adopted country.

I feel like I know you even better! :) That would be so great to see you add videos as well. <BR/><BR/>Great info on your Country.. I would have such a hard time with the tipping, we are tipping all over the place here, and I am learning the metric system as well, I think America needs to push that more as yes only three places left using it. <BR/><BR/>Also A really good friend of mine got to live over in Sydney for a bit, so I have some special souvenirs from there. Cannot wait to make it there someday!! <BR/><BR/>xoLeighhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04673385828370522173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-51156856448498415332009-01-28T15:25:00.000+11:002009-01-28T15:25:00.000+11:00I tagged you on my blog, on the post Butteflies are free!Joaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08943128638748507880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-11914465456379161282009-01-28T11:06:00.000+11:002009-01-28T11:06:00.000+11:00Hi Lilly...hope your doing good.

My heart followed the path of Australian history and for the Indigenous Australians through your words. Around the world, we are connected by one thing ~ humanity. If we can find it in a kinder manner, then we can acquire peace.

The story of your Aborigines is similar to that of our Native Americans. And you are so right about when anyone has endured pain, many times they just need acknowledgment that they were wronged. Sometimes, we all just need to hear a sincere, "I'm sorry."<BR/><BR/>I've tried to learn to apologize more. Oh, not for silly little things - running around saying I'm sorry for everything. But rather, I'm learning to recognize when I've been wrong, swallow my pride, and say, "I'm sorry." <BR/><BR/>It's amazing how much healing power are contained in those words.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, thanks for a very educational post!Renaehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13201000611533977428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-55933414174333655942009-01-28T02:22:00.000+11:002009-01-28T02:22:00.000+11:00am liking what i read - glad i stumbled by - i will be back (why is it no-one can say that with thinking of a metal machine?)paulwchambershttp://paulwchambers.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-87195570504326425272009-01-28T00:20:00.000+11:002009-01-28T00:20:00.000+11:00When is your next post coming Lilly...it's due right now.

Thanks for this instalment. I’m so looking forward to exploring and experiencing Australia’s ‘ancient landscape and indigenous civilisation’. I got a taste for it when I watched AUSTRLIA on big screen a few weeks back.
