Abstract
I take my first footsteps on the Lurujarri Heritage Trail in Broome on a warm, clear sunny day in July 2011. Walking with a large group of people from all around Australia and some from other countries, we make our way through back streets dusted in red sandy soil, passing signs on fences that declare ‘no gas’ and on the footpath ‘gas free Kimberley’. Already, I sense something bigger than us.
