Wow ... it's been a wet couple of days! When we left Hyden yesterday morning the sky was dark out to the west ..... and soon we were driving through the rain. It rained fairly steadily all the way back to Perth.
It's great to see all the green paddocks and the freshly plowed paddocks.
Then we had a beaut storm last night. As I write at 9am, there is hail falling on the roof!
Mulka's Cave is located within the vicinity of Wave Rock in Hyden Western Australia. The name Mulka comes from an Aboriginal legend associated with the cave. Mulka was the illegal son of woman who fell in love with a man with whom marriage was forbidden according to their law.
It is believed that a result of breaking these rules, she bore a son with crossed eyes. Even though he grew to be an outstandingly strong man of colossal height, his crossed eyes prevented him from aiming a spear accurately and becoming a successful hunter.
Out of frustration it is said Mulka turned to catching and eating human children and he became the terror of the district. He lived in Mulka's Cave, where the imprints of his hands can still be seen, much larger and higher than that of an ordinary man.
This evening we had a session with a person who helps plan the use of the NDIS funds allocated to Kaylia. The session was very interesting due to Kaylia's behaviour. Normally she observes from a distance .... but this time she came and joined in the meeting .... and after a few minutes she went and found her iPad that she uses for music. For the rest of the meeting she listened to the discussion and listened to music at the same time. This is a new thing for her...... she's growing up.
I've just been looking back on the comments made on various blog posts .... and I realised that many of the comments are appearing as anonymous because the person commenting either doesn't sign the comment or doesn't log in to a Google account. .... and I would really appreciate knowing who is talking!
