I was in the crowd representing my school, carrying an American flag. Never would have guessed that I'd end up as an American citizen.

The Aboriginal population is believed to have entered Australia at least 60,000 years ago. Current opinion favors migration through various parts of northern Australia including Cape York Peninsula.[1] Traditional local Aboriginal stories recall hunting and fishing on land that once extended past Green Island during a time of lower sea levels.[2] Archaeological evidence shows Aboriginal peoples living in rainforest in the Cairns area for at least 5,100 years, and possibly for much of the often suggested 40,000-year period.[3] The first recorded human occupants of the Cairns area were Australian Aboriginal peoples. Tribal groups speaking the Gimuy Walubara Yidinji language were generally on the south side of the Barron River. On the northern side, particularly in the coastal area from the Barron to Port Douglas, Yirrganydji groups generally spoke dialects of the Djabugay language.[4] Yidinji (also known as Yidinj, Yidiny, and Idindji) is an Australian Aboriginal language. Its traditional language region is within the local government areas of Cairns Region and Tablelands Region, in such localities as Cairns, Gordonvale, the southern part of the Atherton Tableland including Atherton and Kairi. The area is known in the local Yidiny language as Gimuy. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Cairns#:~:text=Archaeolo...

Beautifully staged. It must have taken quite a while (probably days) to make this photograph happen.
