ISS - Aboriginal Astronomy - The Link !

The great thing about living where I do in the world, is the opportunity for inspiration from the environment and the rich cultural history of the region.
This weekend the two came together and inspired the story I am sharing with you at http://EzineArticles.com/?id=1267428
I hope you enjoy the story and find your own inspiration under the night sky.

No worries Leon !
I have since learned that the rising of Antares was the sign in the night sky for Yolngu people that the Makassan's were about to arrive on their annual voyage from Suluwasi !
