i'm currently reading r m w dixon's book australias original languages, and find it an excellent read! i would also recomand bruce pascoe's black emu book. i often state, that in reality things often are 180 degree, the opposite from what the collective mind suggests. for example : street drugs are more dangerous than prescription drugs. or the best way to regulate a water way is by a straight line and reinforced banks. i just start to understand, that indegious languages are, very sophisticated, and extreemly precise, and even feature a different form of speaking, if the mother in law is in hearing distance, as a means of respect. it was always my dream to learn a native language, but my library search revealed no sources. there is "audio" for every language of this world but none of the country, most of us live in. this is a shame!

Great meet, nice to meet some old and new faces. Looking forward to the next one.
