This imaginary Birds Eye view of Maiwar and Brisbane town, considers what could have been had ‘settlement’ occurred via peaceful means.

 What if colonists had respected the land sacred to the Toorbul peoples? What if mutual respect had been in play? It doesn’t seek to lay blame, but to explore in a curious way, and to wonder if it could have been different, what would that mean for us now?
