If there are diverse kinds of knowledge and ways of knowing place, then we need to learn to value the different ways each of us sees a single place that is significant, but differently so, for each perspective.

looking for something firm in a world of chaotic flux

Living according to the ethos of the market depresses me. You buy X on the card, then pay if off with great effort, only to buy something else. It''s never ending and it feels like a bottomless pit.

It's much better being in the wilderness, even if it means being constructed as a tourist:

I feel grounded in nature. It keeps me sane. It prevents me from going crazy whilst living in, and by, the market.

I have to escape to Victor Harbor and go for walks along the clifftops with the poodles to recover my sense of self. It's been lost living in the market and needs to be recovered.

So I remember my brief time in Kangaroo Island with great warmth and nostalgia.
