Sunset meditation

As it was just down the road from where Heather's parents live, we came to Sunset beach almost every day for a tumble in the waves. This is yet another place where aboriginal people quietly go about their business, largely unnoticed by their white Australian counterparts. Bill Bryson, in his book "Down Under" recorded his observations thus, "The people on the street were overwhelmingly white Australians but there were Aborigines, too - not great numbers of them, but always there, on the edge of the frame, unobtrusive, nearly always silent, peripheral".
