“70. Casuarina woodlands are frequented by the Aborigines for the hunt of small kangaroos. The whispering of the wind through the long needles of the trees reminds us of the pine and fir woods at home and provokes amelancholic contemplation of the present and of the past. After aphotograph by W.v. Blandowski.” [WV 27/3/2009]
