Bob is a wonderful friend who helps caretake/steward Uluru sacred site in the center of Australia - enjoy this wonderful excerpt from the film on him, "Kanyini," and his work preserving his aboriginal culture & its sacred heritage.........
1,Late one night just after tea, my baby boy came up to me with his eyes shining bright he said to me daddy i wan to know about something that bothers me Daddy where did i come from? you know the sun and the moon and the stars up in the sky
you see the mountains the flowers and the trees you see the river and the sea, and feel the wind that blows so free that is where and from them all you come from.
2, well my son, all i can say, are the things once said to me by your grandpa and grandma so long ago. in the past when things were men and men were things long time ago these were the words, when I asked were said to me,
3, our ancestors in the past, walked this land and made the laws Saying all living things are the same we may be different in many ways, but we can live in harmony with all things and each other all our days.
The voice plus guitar, how good is that! unadulterated by hi-tech musical maneuvers or digital make-over...truly natural...truly legendary! Bravo Mr Randall!
WOW - Bob did a WONDERFUL job on this one! I love the song, I love the voice and So I´m sending all glittering stars from Austria - to Down Under! When I used to live in Australia I had a few very good Aboriginal friends. Youre people and Uluru are beautiful!

The man looks somewhat white to me. An usual halfbreed, am I right? Then I suppose that 50% of his songs are about England or Ireland, the home of 50% of his DNA.
i like this song, but i do have to say noone white fella or aborigine owns the land ...nature owns the land , we can claim it but it we can never truly own it and why would you want to it should be for every person to enjoy and respect :) ..just a thought
our culture does not say the land belongs to us or anyone else. it's more like we belong to the land. humanity can only survive because the land sustains us
