Most people would say a trip to the Cape York is a once in a lifetime experience, but I know for sure that I will return. My time on Normanby Station with such incredible people, who so quickly became family, has left an imprint on my spirit that will stay with me forever. Lots of laughs, shared stories, cultural sites, wild cattle, brumbies, dingoes + much more.
I am deeply grateful to Esparq Ventures for bringing this together, and to the Harrigan family and team of Normanby Bush Beef welcoming me with such generosity, kindness and respect.
There is something so powerful about being welcomed onto Country. It is more than hospitality, it is a feeling that reaches deep into your soul. Country has a way of speaking without words, of slowing you down enough to listen, to feel and to remember who you are.
The connections made on this trip were spiritual, grounded in a shared respect for land, culture and the stories that have existed here for generations. The landscapes, ancient knowledge and quiet moments on Country are gentle reminders that we are all connected to something far greater than ourselves.
Country nurtures, heals and restores. It holds wisdom, memory and spirit. To sit, walk and share on Balnggarrawarra Country in such a meaningful way is a privilege that is difficult to put into words.
I have returned home with a refuelled spirit, a full heart and even greater love. Grateful for the people on this trip with me, the conversations, the laughter and the deep connection to Country that will continue to guide me long after I have left.
Until next time, Cape York 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
