Cedar Point Ceremony place is now under serious threat.

Cedar Point is near Kyogle Northern New South Wales.  It is located just South of Kyogle, on the Summerland way where the Bentley road, from Lismore, joins Summerland way.

Its a known as an initiation site, a traditional initiation site  of the Githabul / Gullibul original  people/men who were the custodians of the area.   Cedar Point is threatened by mining's little brother - quarrying.  They want to build a quarry on an area that the traditional owners have not given the government proper cultural approval from the real custodians of that area.

The issue has been looming for a few years now but lately a road has been cut into the area and it is now on Red Alert that damage will ensue if this company is not stopped and the truth of the illegal entry sorted out.

Githabul make a stand at Cedar Point Githabal spokesperson, Rob Williams Snr, made it clear that the site was too sacred to be mined, inextricably linked to men’s health and essential in resurrecting ancient lore and culture.  He said it was from this site that the Githabal intend to teach their young men language, bring back their songs and ceremonies and communicate with the spiritual guardians of this sacred place.

Rob was adamant that mining was not negotiable. The offense doesn’t stop on site. Rob is aware, and has seen statutory declarations confirming that sacred objects and tools, which belong to the site in- perpetuity, were removed.

The Githabul demand their immediate return. This removal off-country is not only a cultural affront of the highest order, it has directly affected and accelerated the passage and approval of this mining development. The absence of these original artifacts is crucial and taints all processes and assumptions that followed.

CULTURAL HERITAGE IN DANGER OF DESTRUCTION
...as work has started to prepare for the proposed quarry on a traditional tribal men's initiation site at Cedar Point, just south of Kyogle.
A road has been cut into the hill to gain truck access to the top of the hill where the quarry is proposed.

There is a determined group of people supporting the Githabul people in ensuring this cultural destruction does not go ahead. By rights, the cutting of that road should have at least been overseen by a cultural sites officer.
Scroll down below to catch up on past history.

Please pass this notification onto those who are interested in helping to preserve the all important ORIGINAL CULTURE OF THIS COUNTRY.  Stand by - a meeting will be called soon.

Eve of Destruction

When I got home the other day from being in the Gas fields of Tara Queensland a friend met me at the Vegetable shop and he told me that the Earth was up for an extinction event.  The Ring of Fire was heating up in a way that was unique and bothersome.

Then I was going back over my radio show requests and I note that this song Eve of Destruction was requested back in the middle of June by one of my stalwart listeners.  I missed this.  I think I was meant to play this on the show today instead and that is why I missed it.  

Just before I ran into him I was talking in the car with my friend I was with and her new Grand daughter had just been born the day before and her name is Evie.  Another Eve.   My friend told me about Crop Circles being discussed at Bellingen on Sunday at the Memorial Hall.  I am so very interested in this and I will be promoting this on my show today.

THE EVE OF DESTRUCTION 

 - Singer Barry Maguire -

The eastern world it tis explodin',
violence flarin', bullets loadin',
you're old enough to kill but not for votin',
you don't believe in war, what's that gun you're totin',
and even the Jordan river has bodies floatin',
but you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

Don't you understand, what I'm trying to say?
Can't you see the fear that I'm feeling today?
If the button is pushed, there's no running away,
There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave,
take a look around you, boy, it's bound to scare you, boy,
but you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

Yeah, my blood's so mad, feels like coagulatin',
I'm sittin' here, just contemplatin',
I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation,
handful of Senators don't pass legislation,
and marches alone can't bring integration,
when human respect is disintegratin',
this whole crazy world is just too frustratin',
and you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

Think of all the hate there is in Red China!
Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama!
Ah, you may leave here, for four days in space,
but when your return, it's the same old place,
the poundin' of the drums, th pride and disgrace,
you can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace,
hate your next-door-neighbour, but don't forget to say grace,
and you tell me over and over and over and over again my friend,
ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
