For most of the year, Australia's unforgiving Outback bakes under
an unrelenting Sun with the ancient rocks, buried beneath the red
sands, capturing and holding the energy of the Sun's rays. Central
Australia, at first glance, is one of the most inhospitable and
uncultivable bodies of land to be found anywhere on Mother Earth.
The unearthly stillness of the Outback and sterility of the land
induces a state of psychological emptiness, a meditative paradise
capable of swallowing whole those who turn their back on her.
Often the only sound to be heard in the Outback is the unsympathetic,
discouraging caw of the Crow circling overhead, looking for victims
of the heat. If one were to sit in the silence and contemplate the
medicine cry of this mysterious bird, one would begin to see the
depressive call as a laconic, fundamental interpretation of the
land itself.
