That's all very good.No doubt another grab for the tourist dollar. And why not, however, I hope a group of young natives prancing around a fire is not going to be presented as indigenous culture. They can do better than that .I really hope it doesn't turn into just a money grab. With no regard for the culture.

The news reports were that it went quite well.

Of course they would. And I have no problems with the concept. However, promoting a drive on a dusty road, promoting freshies as life threatening, just doesn't do it for me. It's a bit like back in the 50's , when Europeans thought kangaroos were in the main street of our towns. Discriminating Europeans would see though that , hopefully. Surely we have moved on from that cringe worthy representation of our culture [ yes we have one] . I sincerely hope who ever does this , does it right. And doesn't just fight for the almighty dollar.
