I saw another last night as we sat watching the sunset in Purnululu. We've come across cairns along our journey often in remote and unexpected places. I love seeing them.
n the crudest most simple form they have been trail markers guiding us through rocky terrain. In other places they have been large creations built at times and by people unknown seemingly for aesthetic or scientific reasons. They mark summits, beautiful places, and those rich in natural resources. Some cry out to be further enhanced; incomplete stories looking for further content but with an open ending. Others are complete to be admired and tended until a force of nature (or lack of respect) ends their life.
