    White fella heritage that is.
    I drive around my region and where there used to be bushland and some pretty big trees, there isn't.
    And some old houses probably a hundred years old or more...all gone or soon will be.

    What there is instead is "estate" after "estate", street after street, neatly laid and kerbed, with the latest street lighting. House after new house, all look the same, almost entirely built from the same materials to the same design, maybe built that way so the people will all think the same.

    The wildlife will be gone too. All of it, because it all depended on what was there. And we'll be gone too, give it a few years, so there won't even be a memory of it.

    Look what they done to my town ma
