Original Text
Aunty Beryl Van-Oploo, a respected Gamilaraay elder, shared a story with a group of women one day, and she said, "We all have a bit of Barangaroo in us." Later that evening, I thought about Aunty Beryl's message. And what I received from her message was, no matter our culture, color or how we identify, spirit is what we share. It's what connects us. You see, if we indigenize beauty, the meaning is transformed from aesthetically pleasing to a state of divinity; beauty now becomes spirit manifested. Not only is spirit found within us, it's in all things. It's in the landscapes, it's in the elements.
