I worked for the United Aboriginal and Islander Christian Congress on this, my first trip to the land down under. My job was to help the indigenous aborigines and islanders gain more freedom and control over their own lives. During our first week there, our house was broken into. Interestingly enough, however, all of our personal belongings had been thoroughly searched, yet nothing was stolen. Darwin is a small city in the Northern Territory.
Lizards roam freely.
They sent their prisoners there from Britain. The Aboriginal nations that existed were not even counted as human beings. The British simply took their land from them. For the British government, taking land and controlling people was a science. This gives you some idea as to why we speak English and why English is an international language.
