Aboriginal Woman



Tuesday 22 September 2009

(Okay, just one more.)

At one point we had to stop and wait for this aboriginal woman to finish the rite she was performing before we could drive past this section of the road. We didn't understand very well exactly what it was for, but she was chanting and sprinkling water about, so it looked to me like a blessing of some sort.

The funniest part, though, was that when she was nearly done she seemed to lose steam, so she handed the duties over to some other woman to finish up, and without further ado she hopped onto the back of one of the waiting scooters and drove off!
