destroy! Unfortunately, his intimate possessions were taken instantaneously by young menacing minorities. They had taken the most precious ‘thing’ a vagrant person had and few of his corrosive coppers which he hadn’t lifted for days. Suddenly, the dispossessed creature could overhear inarticulate sounds causing angst and discomfort towards him. Gradually, the incoherent accents grew louder and louder!

My first field excursion to Kuringai-Chase National Park in early September was a guided tour let by my Anthropology Professor.
