In Galinyala Port Lincoln proper, walking the Barngalla / Parnkalla trail not far from Shell Beach, looking at the limestone, gneiss and dolerite by the water’s edge, with shrubby low-down plants here, rising gradually higher to mallees behind, going up the hill, eventually to even higher eucalypts as the land rises. And here I’m struck not by an image of a human being with head at the water and limbs rising up the hill, but rather a kangaroo with body and limbs higher up, bending down with chest nearby, all the way down to the water’s edge, where it stoops its head and snout, and eventually drinks.
