Walk update
Walk for the Williams Progress
We started our walk in the rain at 8.30 Sunday morning 14 March 2010 from Brownmore. But it was a beautiful, misty rain and kept us cool for the morning. We walked passed curious cows and Brian and Jim reminisced about the times that they travelled the route so many times before. In their earlier days they travelled to school in the school bus. That’s the Munni school; all that’s left now is a few foundations to show where it was. The burden of loss is heavy for Brian and Jim. They know every turn of the road, every property and who lived there over the years, their stories and joys and sorrows. This valley tells a story of people who have lived here for over 40,000 years. There are remnants of all of the people who lived here, whether it’s worn down grinding stones beside the river, or homesteads and sheds. We pass Munni house and mourn. If this dam goes ahead, all of this will be lost. Thousands of stories flooded, lost. All for a dam that nobody needs and nobody wants.
