After a nice time in the Pilliga bore Baths and a wonderful breakfast cooked up by Sam and Davo we headed out in a convoy to the Pilliga Forest to the Cultural Camp at Ten Mile Dam.

This is the camp that Matty set up with help over four months ago when I was out at Leards in October was when this was planned and it went up the next week. He has been there since and he has had a lot of trouble from non cultural people to move and there was even threats made and the camp was dismantled while he and Ruth were away.

Today a meeting was held at Ten Mile and it was a mess and we left feeling very weird about the whole thing. There was clear evidence that this so called Woman's Wilderness Society is a crock of garbage because what is wilderness without culture.
I was dumbfounded to say the least. My heart went out to Matty as he had stayed there for over four months with Ruth and they had been there alone mostly.
Over the previous weeks there were certain people who were active in orchestrating a revolt and then creating a division and lying about it all. This was all done to take over the show and move it away from being a cultural camp and how I would say "Own" the blockade decisions. They were very forceful and threatening and rude about it all.
I still have many suspicions to the the reality of what is happening but if I speak out I will be shut down and ridiculed so I will reserve my opinion to only those who matter.
