Peter never fails to be impressed by the vista offered at all times of the day at the Gembrook Retreat. This time he was captivated by the magic evening light on the trees and on a nearby field. Steve, who lives there, told him that the place was on the boundary between two aboriginal tribes and there was a "shield tree" to mark this boundary. Unfortunately the tree has rotted away and is lost to us. The tribe north of the ridge was the Wurundjeri clan and the tribe south and possessing the country down to Westernport and Port Philip was the Bunurong clan. Look into the picture and imagine life as it was here 200 hundred years ago. Pure magic.
