CERN ROOT on Ubuntu 22.04

South of Eden, NSW
These shots were taken in what is currently known as Ben Boyd National Park, near Eden in southern New South Wales. Ben Boyd was a Scottish colonialist and is considered Australia’s first ‘blackbirder’, who shipped South Sea Islanders to Australia in effective slavery. There is a movement to change the name to honour the original inhabitants of the land, the Thaua people.
