Ten years on

[erilyn]

My thoughts are with all those who were affected by the massacre at Port Arthur ten years ago. Thirty five people murdered and eighteen more seriously wounded - I still remember the sheer disbelief and horror something like this could happen in Australia, let alone in a little historic site like Port Arthur.

A guy from work (of Indian background) was in Cronulla too, he and his girlfriend were spat upon and harrassed, it's horrible to think they were lucky to escape with only that.

Port Arthur - it does make you feel that events can imprint so much on a place, with past horror being echoed in the present day events.
