Today I took a trip back into the city to see the Australian Museum. My fellow residents at The Centre, Pete and Eddie and I traveled by bus to CBD (remember that’s Central Business District) to the museum. Yesterday’s walk proved to me that one has to use his energy wisely or when you get to your destination, you may be too pooped to enjoy what you can to see.
The museum was quite good featuring the many birds and animals of Australia – all appropriately stuffed and displayed. A special section of the museum offered a very enlightening exhibit on the history of the Aboriginal peoples of Australia. It was only in 1967 that the national government gave these folks full citizenship and formally apologized for the taking of their lands and the disrespect of their traditions. Did we ever do that for our Native Americans?
The weather was again glorious and we went out to one of the many local Randwick establishments for dinner.
