Andy Paine, Nyamavhuvhu 23, 2017.
NeChishanu Gunyana 16 2016 rakanga riri zuva rakabatikana kwandiri. Ndakaitanga ndichigadzirira nhepfenyuro nezvePine Gap, nzvimbo yekuchengetedza mauto eUS padyo neAlice Springs pakati peAustralia. Ndakanga ndataura nemudzidzi akadzidza Pine Gap uye zvazvinoita; anorwisa akapokana nazvo; uye muridzi wetsika yeArrernte uyo anoti haina kodzero yekuvapo. Ipapo ndakamhanya kuenda kuGriffith University, kwandakapa hurukuro yevaeni kukirasi yehunhu nezvekusateera kwevanhu - tsika yekutyora pachena uye kutyora mitemo isina kurongeka.
Asi ini handisi chete mutori wenhau anoshuma pane zviri kuitika, kana mudzidzi anotsanangura zvirevo. Saka ndapedza mabasa maviri aya, ndakapinda mumota ndokunanga kuAlice Springs kuyedza kuramba Pine Gap uye Hondo dzeUS dzinoitisa.
Saka ini ndinofungidzira tisati taenderera mberi, chimbichimbi chepamusoro nezvePine Gap uye zvazvinoita. Pane rumwe ruzivo rwakawanda kunze uko kana uchifarira, asi Chaizvoizvo Pine Gap ndeimwe yematatu satelite yekukurukurirana zvigadzirwa iyo US yakadyara zvine hunyanzvi kutenderera kwepasi kuti iite kuti ikwanise kuongorora nyika yese. Iko kubhadhara kwaro kwakasainiwa mu1966, chigadziko chakavakwa mu1970. Pakutanga, hazvina kumbobvira zvabvumwa pachena kuti yaive nzvimbo yechiuto - yakarondedzerwa se "nzvimbo yekutsvagira nzvimbo" kusvikira mudzidzi Des Ball akafukura izvo chaizvo zvaakaita. Runyerekupe rwakawanda kuti kupambwa kweMutungamiriri Gough Whitlam kune chimwe chinhu chekuita nekudaro kwake kuda kudzora pachigadziko uye kusvika padivi reCIA risiri iro.
Kwemazhinji ehupenyu hwayo, nepo Pine Gapagara achigara achikwezva mafoto kubva kuvarwi vekurwira-hondo, chinangwa chayo chakangove chekutanga kuongorora. Mumakore gumi apfuura, zvakadaro, chinangwa ichi zvachinja. Mazuva ano nharembozha neredhiyo zvinoratidzwa naPine Gap kuburikidza ne satelite zvinoshandiswa pakubhowa drone kana zvimwe zvakanongedzwa mabhomba - zvichiita kuti US iuraye vanhu kuMiddle East pasina njodzi yekuti musoja aurayiwe - kana njodzi yekunzwira tsitsi kuti kunobva mukudyidzana nemunhu chaiye munhu.
Sezvandataura, Pine Gap yave iri nyaya yekuratidzira kwakawanda pamusoro pemakore. Uyu waifanira kucherechedza zuva re50th rekusainwa kwemubhadharo - asi nekuda kwechinangwa chekuti munhu wese aizoenda kugwenga hakuna kunyatsojekeswa. Zvimwe pane izvozvo gare gare.
Rwendo rwekuenda kuAlice rwaive mune imwe shamwari yangu Jim. Jim muvezi wezviitiko zvakawanda uye matare ematare kunze kunaAlice - ainyatsoziva nzira. Iyo van inomhanyisa biodeisel Jim inogadzira kunze kwehove dzakashandiswa uye chip mafuta; saka zvese zvaivepo nzvimbo yemota yakatorwa pamwe nemadhiramu azere nemafuta. Vamwe vandaifamba navo vaive shamwari dzangu dzekumba Franz naTim. Franz mwanakomana waJim saka akakura achienda kunoratidzira kunyangwe achiri mudiki. Tim anobva kuNew Zealand; chiitiko chake chekare chekurwisa-kurwa kwekusateera kwevanhu muAustralia zvakaita kuti arohwe, akabvarurwa akashama uye atyisidzirwa nevarwi veSAS kuSwan Island muVictoria. Asina kugadzikana, aidzoka kuzowana zvimwe.
Kwatiri vatinoshanda navo mudzimba (uye muna Jim zvakare, anga agara kwemakumi emakore achigara mudzimba dzakafanana dzeCatholic Worker), achifamba 3000km kunoratidzira yaive chikamu cheyedu yekuyedza kuti nyika ive yerunyararo uye ine rugare. Kugara pamwe chete; tinoedza kugara takabatana uye takachengeteka, kuvhura magonhi edu kushamwari nevatorwa vatinoda kumwe kunhu kushanya kana kugara, uye kunetsekana neruzhinji nekuda kwenyika yatinotenda mairi.
Mumwe aifamba naye aive mukomana wataive tisati tambo sangana naye asi aipinda mukutarisana kutsvaga pekusimudza. Aive munhu aitaura, uye aisanyatsoda kuravira zvakafanana pakutaurirana kana tsika dzakafanana nesu vamwe vese. Izvo zvakanaka, asi anongowana kuyedza zvishoma pane rwendo rwemazuva mana.
Uye kwemazuva mana takafambisa. Kune renje, chokwadi kwakanaya kwazvo. Ku Mt Isa takanorara pasi pevharanda re verandah rechechi ndokuratidzwa pasi pefafitera yemvura inofashukira. Ikoko takasangana nekapfupi takasangana nemuridzi wemuCairns aive akanangawo kunaAlice. Vakanga vane nguva yekunaya nemamiriro ekunze uye vakanga vachiomesa zvinhu zvavo pasipuni yekuwachira. Inosanganisirwa muboka iro raive shamwari yedu Margaret; mumwe murwi wenguva refu murunyararo anga achiedza kuronga chiitiko kwenguva yakati rebei. Takataura zano kwechinguva ndokuzodzoka munzira.
Kunyangwe pakunaya, dhiraivha regwenga rine zvinoshamisa. Takatarisa kuchinja kwenzvimbo apo patakafambisa - miti yakatetepa uye samller, mafuro kubva kune akaomeswa kusvika patchy, iwo ruvara rwakakura kubva kune yakasvibira kune tsvuku. Takamira paMarble eDhiyabhurosi kuti tikwire pamabwe anoshamisa aya anoregedza matombo. Takatarisa windows pamafuta akanaka uye mahombekombe epakati peAustralia. Kunyangwe mumota yedu yakamanikana, tainzwa sekunge takatambanuka kubva parutivi rwechikara uye kusagadzikana kweguta.
Takapinda muna Alice paMuvhuro masikati. Takafamba takapinda mudhorobha tichienda kumaClaypans nechekumaodzanyemba, iyo nzvimbo yeHealing Camp. Paive paine musasa weangangoita 40-50 vanhu vakatangwa; kusanganisira mumwe murwi wekare murunyararo Graeme, uyo akaisa keteni uye akatigamuchira tese nemikombe yetii.
Panguva ino ndinofanira kunge ndichigaya kubva kunhoroondo kuti nditsanangure kuti kushanduka uku kwePine Gap kwakaumbwa sei. Sezvo zvinowanzoita kunge ndizvo zvazviri mumubatanidzwa werunyararo, wanga usiri rugare zvachose. Ndakanga ndatanga kunzwa pfungwa yekusangana yakakurukurwa makore mashoma apfuura, pagore rekuzvimirira uye Runyararo Australia Network kuungana. IPAN mubatanidzwa wemapoka erunyararo uyo pagore anoronga musangano apo vazhinji vevadzidzi uye varatidziri vanopa hurukuro pamisoro mizhinji ine chekuita nezvehondo pamwe nehondo. Izvo zvakanaka asi hazvibatanidzi zvizhinji zvekuvhiringidza zvinoshungurudza izvo zvinonyanya kunakidza uye inoraira zvakanyanya midhiya kutariswa. Saka kuti izvi zviitike, boka rakanzi Disarm rakaumbwa nepfungwa yekumisa musasa uye nzvimbo yekuti vanhu vaite zviito zvinogona kukanganisa kufamba kwakanaka kwePine Gap.
Pamusoro peiyi callout mbiri, Arrernte murume Chris Tomlins akafunga kuti pakanga paine kuuraya kwakaringana kwakaitwa kubva kune yavo tsika. Mhinduro yake yetariro kunyange zvakadaro yanga isiri yekuratidzira se "musasa wekuporesa" - zvinoita kunge maonero ake eiyi yaive nharaunda isina chinangwa yaisanganisira zvese kubva kutsika dzechivanhu kubva mutsika kusvika kunechimurenga nekufungisisa. Akafamba achitenderera nyika achigovana zano - kazhinji panzvimbo yehippy senge Confest naNimbin's Mardi Grass.
Ndiwo musasa wekuporesa wakatanga. Kudanwa kwemusasa uyu kwakakwidza kurudzi rwevanhu vanotenda mukupodzwa kwemweya uye vanobatanidza kukosha kwakakosha kumafungiro etsika dzechivanhu. Zvakanakira hazvo hazvo, vanhu vanoisa zvakawanda mumatura ezvematongerwo enyika zvemukati tsika dzakabviswa nekwairatidzika kunge kunetsana mukati meArrernte kuti Chris Tomlins ane kodzero yekuvataurira kana kushandisa ivhu kumaClaypans . Rimwe bhizimusi rakashata.
Kutendeuka kumisasa, zvakakurumidza kuve pachena kuti yakanga izere nerudzi rwevanhu rwaungawana vachigara muNorthern NSW (kwandinofunga kuti vanhu vazhinji chaizvo vanobva) kana kuRainbow Kuunganidza - mune imwe mushonga, kuverenga simba uye kurarama maererano nechisikigo. Zvinosuruvarisa ivo zvakare vari rudzi rwevanhu vanojaira zvinorema kushandiswa kwedope, kwakaomarara kutsika tsika uye kusaziva kuziva mukana wavo uyo unovagonesa kutenda kuti runyararo nebudiriro zvinogona kubva nekugara uchitenderedza kufungisisa. Izvi zvingaite senge zvakaoma, asi ini ndapedza nguva yakatendana ndakatenderedza tsika iyi uye handifunge kuti inobatsira kwazvo kuyedza kuumba shanduko yemagariro kana kunyangwe kuve nekufambisa kushamwaridzana. Ini nekukasira kufunga kuti uyu ndiwo mhando yemamiriro atakanga takatarisana nawo apa.
Zvakadaro, kwemazuva akati wandei takamhara pamusasa uye takaedza kupa. Iri raive boka risinganzwisisike asi kwaive nevamwe vanhu vakanaka ipapo. Vamwe pavakatanga kupinda zvakare isu takatanga kutaura zano rezviito nezvinobuditsa nhau.
Chiitiko chakange chatsanangurwa naMargaret chaive “kuchema” panzvimbo paPine Gap yekuchema vese vakafa nekuda kweiyi nzvimbo. Iye akange akurudzira kududzirwa kwekugadzira - mimhanzi, kutamba, hunyanzvi. Ini pachezvangu ndakanzwa kuti ndaida chifananidzo chakanyatsobatana nekumisa mashandiro ePine Gap. Ini ndanga ndanzwa kuti kune depot mudhorobha mabhasi achibva abva kunotora vashandi vese kunze ku base. Ndakaona achivhara pasi uye ndiri pakati peguta padyo nevezvenhau uye vanopfuura.
Saka vamwe pavakatarisa nzira dzaigona kufamba pamusoro peasvo, ndakaenda mudhorobha kunoburitsa nzvimbo yekubatira. Yakavheneka iine magedhi mana - zvishoma kune mumwe munhu uye yake yekuvhara-pane kiyi kuvhara pasi. Ini ndaizoda plan B.
Zvakadaro, kuenda muguta murairidzi kune zvaive zvakanakira - zvakandibuditsa kunze kwekambi yekurapa uko kwaive kutanga kukwezva zvishoma uye zvishoma. Kuuya kunaAlice ini ndaitoziva kuti kune vahosi vekare shamwari ikoko zvaizove zvakanaka kuona. Asi chishamiso chakanakira kana vachipinda mudhorobha chaive chekuti chokwadi chaive nemurwi wenguva dzose waiuya nenyika - vamwe vandaive ndisati ndamboona mumakore (hazvishamise sezvo vaive pakati pegwenga - ndakanga ndakauya kunaAlice makore mashanu apfuura).
Vamwe vevanhu ava vaisanyanya kudarika vaunozivana, asi iwe unowana hwakasarudzika chisungo kuburikidza nekuita zvematongerwo enyika vanhu. Kune imwe, kushanda muchirongwa kana chiitiko nevanhu, kunyangwe kapfupi, kwakasiyana kwazvo nekumhanyisa mune mumwe munhu kashoma. Kechipiri, dzimwe nguva mamiriro ezvinhu aya anogona kuve akaomarara kana kuenda kwakanyanyisa kwekunakidzwa kwemanzwiro. Izvo zvinogona kuva nemhedzisiro yekukurumidza kuvaka zvivakwa zvine simba. Yetatu, kuziva kuti iwe unogovera zvakafanana tsika uye kuti mumwe munhu angave achishanda pazvinhu zvaunotsigira zvinoreva kuti kune kuvimbana uye kubatana.
Zvimwe zvaive izvi zvikonzero kana kuti zvimwe vangadai vaisave nebasa nazvo; asi imwe imba yaigamuchira chaizvo pandakabvunza kana ndaigona kupaza ipapo ini ndichironga zvekuita. Muchokwadi, mubvunzo wakapindurwa zvine simba nenzira yakaratidza kuvhundutsa kufunga kuti ndingadai ndisina kugamuchirwa. Rudzi urwu rwekugamuchira vaeni zvakanaka ndizvo zvandinoedza kupa kune vamwe, uye ndowanzove ndiri pakugamuchira kwekupedzisira. Nguva dzese dzakadaro sekukosheswa.
Saka ndakagara kwemazuva, ndikadzika musasa kuseri kwemba uye ndichitsvaga zvinhu zvekuita mutown sezvo ndainyanya kunzwa kuda kudzokera kumusasa. Ndakarembera, ndakabatsira kutenderedza imba, ndakashanda kwezuva rekupenda madziro uye ndichigadzira bhasiketi hoop panzvimbo inodonhedza vana veko vamwe shamwari dzinomhanya, dzakabikwa uye dzakacheneswa for Food Not Bombs (yemahara emigwagwa yekudya inova imwe yangu zvinhu zvandinofarira uye zvagara zvichingove chikamu chehupenyu hwangu kweanenge makore matanhatu ikozvino).
Iko kusangana kwekutambira vanhu uye zvinhu zvandaigona kupa kuti zviite nyore kwazvo kunzwa ndiri kumba munaAlice uye ndainakidzwa nenguva yangu ipapo. Kune mhando inosekesa yekusiyanisa ipapo - idhorobha rakadaro uye pane chokwadi chakawanda chekusvotesa kune vanhu vanouya vachiti vanoda kubatsira aboriginal vanhu kungosara makore akati wandei, vawane mari yakawanda vobva vadzokera ku mhenderekedzo. Pane imwe nguva ini ndakagara pasi kwekapu nevanhu vaviri vandakanga ndangosangana navo. Takataura nezvekuzvarwa kwedu kuti tifambe fambe, hunhu isu tese tichidudzira senge fomu rekushaya simba. Asi hazvifanirwe kudaro. Vamwe vanhu vanorarama hupenyu hwavo hwese munzvimbo imwechete asi vasingambozvipira kune vanhu vavakomberedza. Kuti uve unodhakwa, uye kuti uzviite nemazvo, hazvireve kuti haumbofi uri pamba, ndezve kugara uri pamba.
Ndichiri mudhorobha, shamwari dzangu (pamwe nekutsungirira musasa wekuporesa) vanga vachigadzirira kuchema kwavo. PaSvondo manheru vakatanga kuenda. Iri raive boka rakasiyana - vanhu vatanhatu, mumwe nemumwe mumakumi emakore akasiyana ezera kubva kuyera kusvika kune 70's. Vakafamba vachipfuura negwenzi kwemaawa akawanda pakati pehusiku, shuviro yavo yekufamba kuenda kuPine Gap ndima uye kuita kuchema kwavo mambakwedza. Vakasvika kugedhi rekunze (chigadziko pachacho chakachengetedzwa kwazvo uye chakakwiridzwa, asi nzvimbo chaiyo yePine Gap yakakura kwazvo uye ine yakawanda yekukanda isina chinhu) ichiri yakasviba ndokutora nguva yekuzorora uye kumirira kusvikira mambakwedza . Zvinoshamisa kuti, ivo vakamuka kumagetsi emapurisa - vaive neimwe nzira vaonekwa uye vaive zvino vakomberedzwa. Vakanga vasina kutyora chero mitemo, uye chero zvakadaro mapurisa aisada zvakanyanya kusungwa zvakanyanya uye pachena. Saka vese vakaiswa mumota dzemapurisa ndokudzoserwa kumusasa.
Mangwanani anotevera vatatu vakweguru maQuaker maiguru kwenguva uye chidimbu chakavharira mukova wePine Gap nekuita pati yeti. Kwakanga kuri kuramba kweitiro yavakange vakaita gore rapfuura panguva yeUS-Australia yekubatana kwemauto kuS Shoal Bay Bay; uye saiti yevakadzi vane hushamwari vanonwa tii nekuvharira mugwagwa vanogara vachitariswa. Vakanga vagadzirira kusungwa, asi zvakare zvaiita sekunge ma cops aisada - traffic yakadzoswa padhuze navo pakupedzisira vakanhonga teapot voenda kumba. Yaive yekutanga ruzhinji chiito chekubatanidzira zvakadaro.
Isu takanyoreswa kuti titaure zvekuseketa zvirongwa. Vanochema vaive voda kuedza zvekare pane imwe nguva. Ndakagovana hurongwa hwangu - ndaida kuzvivharira pasi pekutakurwa kwebhazi rinotakura vashandi pasuo repamberi rePine Gap (zvakare, magedhi epamberi ndiwo akareba kubva pachigadziko uye kwete chaizvo kufamba daro). Isu tinoisa zuva reChitatu mangwanani.
Kudzokera muBrisbane, kugadzirira rwendo, ndakanga ndazvitengera bhasikoro D-Lock. Pa $ 65, yaive yakachipa dhiraivha asi ichiri yakanyanya kudhura chinhu chandakanga ndatenga mumakore anopfuura mashanu (ini handisi kugadzira izvo). Yaifanira kuve chinhu-chishandiso chimwe - chirongwa changu chaive chekuishandisa kuzvivharira kune chimwe chinhu kudzamara mupurisa akamanikidzwa kuyedza simba rayo nekona-grinder. Musi weChipiri husiku, mushure mekunyatsoburitsa midhiya yangu, ndakapedza kanenge awa ndichidzidzira kuzvivharira kumashure emota dzakasiyana.
Patakanga tataura nezve chiitiko ichi, vanhu vaviri vakataura nezve kushushikana nezvekuchengeteka kwangu pasi pebhazi. Ini handina kunetseka nazvo, kana nezvekusungwa; asi ndakatya kuti ndichagona kuzvivharira panguva. Chero chero imwe yekuvharira ini yandanga ndiri chikamu yakaitwa nenguva yakawanda uye nzvimbo - kwete pamberi pemapurisa. Zvakare, nekuti ndicho chega chinhu chandauya nacho, ini ndenge ndichishandisa D-Kiyunga pamutsipa wangu pane kuita rakapetwa rakakiyiwa neruoko nemaoko maviri mairi. Chete choke nzvimbo munzira (uko kwandaigona kutarisira kusimudza mota yakazara uye kwete bhazi rimwechete) yaive kurudyi pamberi pesuwo, pakanga paine mamwe maCOP. Tariro yangu chete yaive yekuvabata nekushamisika.
Ndakatadza kurara kubva mutsinga. Ini ndakangoramba ndichifungidzira zvingaitika. Mushure mekupedzisira kudonha kwekurara zvishoma, alarm yangu yakaenda neyezuva richiri pazasi pemhepo nekudurura mvura ichinamira patende. Yakanga iri nguva yekuenda.
Paive nemapurisa akatomirira pedyo negedhi. Takanga taita dummy kumhanya mangwanani apfuura taingobata zviratidzo, saka nekiya yangu yakahwanda pasi pesvetukira rangu tainyepedzera kuti taingoita zvimwe chete. Mabhazi akasvika. PaCue, shamwari dzangu dzakabuda kumberi dzakabata banner. Bhazi rakamira pamberi pangu. Mapurisa angave ari 20 mamita kure. Mushure metsitsi dzese, waive mukana wakanaka. Ndakatsikaira pasi pebhazi, ndakatsiga musana wangu ndakananga kumberi. Ini ndakakiya kukiya pamusoro pebhawa, ndikaisa mutsipa wangu mukati ndokuenda kunodzvanya kukiya rakavharwa. Ndipo pakange paine maoko aindibata. Ndakabatirira parutivi demo, asi zvakashaya basa. Mapurisa matatu aidhonza muviri wangu kunze. Ivo vakatora kiyi yangu asi ndokundisiya, ndokundisiya ndanyudzwa kubva pakarara munzira uye nekumeso ndichiona bhazi richityaira mukati.
Iwo macop ainyarawo kunyara. Vakanika mativi ese emugwagwa zvino sezvo mamwe mabhazi ese aipfuura. Mumwe wavo akamira akati wandei mamamita kumberi kwangu, achiita girare rake rinotyisa. Pakupedzisira imwe yakauya kwandiri, yakatora zvinyorwa zvangu uye ikandiudza kuti ini ndichave ndichawana faindi.
Mushure mekunge mabhazi ese apfuura, takapinda munzira takadzokera kumisasa yeDziviriro, yaive zvino yaiswa makiromita mashoma kuburuka nemugwagwa kubva kugedhi. Ndainyorwa nyoro uye zvishoma ndakaodzwa mwoyo, asi zvakadaro yakakwira pamusoro adrenaline. Kudzokera kumusasa, ndakanga ndine kapu yetii, imwe yekudya kwemangwanani uye ndakagara pasi kuitira musangano wekamba, uyo wakaronga kuita nzvimbo yakavharika yemugwagwa masikati iwayo.
Misangano yemumusasa yaive yakareba uye yaityisa - vanhu vazhinji kwazvo vaisazivana uye vaive nepfungwa dzakasiyana pamwechete munzvimbo imwechete. Kukurukurirana kwakaenderera nekutenderera. Pakupedzisira dzimwe gadziriso dzakasvikwa, asi neiyi nguva ndakanga ndotonhorerwa uye nekusagadzikana kwekutadza kwemangwanani kwaive kutanga kurovera mukati. Takadzokera kumusasa wekupora kuzorora.
Ndakanga ndisati ndanyatsoenda kumusasa kwevhiki, uye zvinoita sokunge awana mueni wenguva iyoyo panguva iyoyo. Kushandiswa kwezvinodhaka kwakange kwakakwira - mazhinji masora asi zvakare sezviri pachena akavesa mvura yemuviri. Pfungwa dzaivawo dzakapfuura kupfuura zvakajairwa hippy auras uye yakanaka vibes. Zvisinganzwisisike, musasa izvozvi wakaratidzika sekutenda kuti kune vatorwa vari kuronga kuuya pasi uye kuzounza munharaunda nyowani asi ivo vaifanira kumirira kusvika nyika ive nerunyararo rwakakwana kuti vauye kuPine Gap uye vosayina chibvumirano che-galactic. Kupurudzira kunopesana nePine Gap yaive zano rakaipa (kunyangwe icho chiri izvo zvatakauya pano kuzoita) nekuti yakaisa chibvumirano munjodzi.
Ini handina kumbobvira ndanzwisisa zvese zvinoitika zvefungidziro, asi ndinopika kuti handisi kuita izvi. Mumwe mukomana akauya akatiudza kuti anga abuda kuna Alice achitenda kuti vanhu ndivo vane mhosva dzehondo uye isu tinofanirwa kuratidzira Pine Gap, asi aivepo husiku hwapfuura akagutsikana nekutadza kwenzira dzake nedzidziso idzi. Chii chaunofanira kutaura kune icho? Paive nevamwe vanhu vakanaka kuHealing Camp, asi zvakanyanya zvaityisa. Ini ndaigona kunyora account ndichingopora Healing Camp uye ingangove inonakidza, asi haisi iyo poindi yacho uye yakange yakawoma kurarama kuburikidza nayo panguva yacho ndisina kuirondedzera izvozvi. Boka rega rega revatungamiriri vezvematongerwo enyika vane chikamu chavo chewacky mazano, asi iri raive rimwe danho. Zvisinei, mushure meizvi hatina kupedza nguva yakawanda pamusasa uye handikwanise kutaura kuti ndakazvikanganisa.
Panguva imwe cheteyo, vaichema, mitezo yakati wandei yenhengo kubva pakuyedza kwekutanga, dzaive dzichironga kuyedza zvakare kupinda muchikamu. Sezvo ndakundikana muhurongwa hwangu A, mhinduro iri pachena yaive yekubatana navo husiku ihwohwo. Zvaive zvishoma zvekuzorodzwa chaiko. Kufananidzwa nehusimbe hwekutsemuka mangwanani, kufamba nepakati pehuswa kwemaawa mashoma pakati pehusiku kunenge kuchizorora. Uyezve ini ndaizove neshamwari dzangu!
Zvimwe zvinhu zvishoma zvaifanira kuitika nguva iyoyo isati yasvika. Kutanga nzira yemasikati Chakanga chiri chiitiko chinonakidza chakaratidza izvo matikitivhiti angave mapurisa - mapurisa haana kusunga munhu kana kana kutitamisa. Turafiki kuPine Gap yakatsauswa nenzira yekumashure; uye kwete chete ivo varatidziri vakabvumirwa kugara munzira, mapurisa akavhara kumucheto kwemugwagwa ivo pachavo, achititadzisa kubuda. Izvi zvakakonzera majee mashoma nezve mapurisa akange atisanganisa nesu mu blockade, asi zvakasimudza zvishoma nyaya kune isu vedu vaifanira kubuda kuti varonge chiitiko chedu chinotevera. Isu vatatu taivepo kumagumo taifanirwa kufamba kuenda kumucheto kwemugwagwa takatakura chero zvinhu zvataizoda tikawana danho rekudzosera mudhorobha.
Iyo yekutanga-kuchema musangano musangano 
yaive Campfire In The Mwoyo, kudzoka kwemweya kunze kwekunze kweAlice kwavanodya vhiki nevhiki vachidya nekukurukura. Manheru acho musoro wenyaya waive "kutenda uye kwekuratidzira". Vanhu kutenderedza boka vakagovana maitiro akasiyana, asi zvechokwadi izvo zvatisingataure yaive tsika yemweya yatakanga tava kuda kuita - rwendo rwekupinda mumeso weBabironi, vachiisa munjodzi kusungwa pachena kuti vadzivise kutonga kwemauto eU.S. Jesu akati, "Bvisa munondo wako," nekuti iye unorarama nebakatwa uchafa nebakatwa. "Kwandiri, kutenda uye zvematongerwo enyika hazvigoneke. Hufambo hwatakanga tave kuda kubva pahwo hwaive hwakadzika hwomweya.
Saka takatanga kugadzirira. Takanga tine shamwari dzinoverengeka dzakabvumirana kutidzinga kuenda kune imwe nzvimbo kubva kwataigona kufamba tichienda kuPine Gap. Pashure pazvo kunyangwe paine nyaya imwe yekutevera - kwete midhiya panguva ino, iyo yaive yasara mumaoko evaviri veshamwari.
Kutevera kwekutanga kwakundikana mukudarika, pakave nekukurukurirana kwakawanda pamusoro pekuti boka ringaonekwe sei. Imwe pfungwa yakati paruzhowa rusununguko rwe chigadziko. Zano rekuderedza izvi raive rakawanda kupararira panguva ino (saka tinogona kuve nyore kuve kangaroo kana chimwe chinhu), uye kupfeka epurasitiki yekudziya kudziya magumbeze kuti abate muviri wedu kupisa mukati uye kwete kupenya kuti uonekwe. Ini ndange ndopesana nekupfeka magumbeze epurasitiki anopenya, asi sevanhu vese vakaisa imwe, ini ndakasara nemhedzisiro yekuti kana ndikaramba uye isu tave kuwanikwa zvakare yaive mhosva yangu. Saka zvechipfuva ndakazviputira muya yaitaridza senge sutu yesofa ndokuisa jekete rangu pamusoro. Zvibayiro zvatinofanira kuita kuti rugare.
Isu takatanga kufamba, takanyarara (kunze kwepurasitiki inovava) uye nemwenje yenyeredzi. Isu takanga taenda pasi pe500 metres pakasvika nguva yekutanga yekuvhiringidzika - isu taive padhuze nepamba uye imbwa dzaive dzichihukura. Mumwe munhu akati mira, asi vanhu kumberi vaimhanya pamberi. Takaparadzana. Kwakanga kusiri kutanga kwataitarisira. Isu takamirira kwechinguva, tichiedza nzira dzakasiyana siyana dzekutsvaga vamwe tisina kutarisisa zvakanyanya kwatiri. Mukupedzisira isu takaramba tichifamba, tichifunga (mumagumo nenzira kwayo) kuti vamwe vaizotimirira munzira yakajeka.
Kwaive kufamba kwenguva refu. Ndakanga ndarara zvishoma husiku hwapfuura, uye tanga tatova pakati peusiku. Asi ini ndakatsikirira, ndakarara zvishoma asi neine adrenaline yakakwana kuti ndirambe ndichienda. Iyo adrenaline, inonakidza zvakakwana, yakanga isiri nzara pamusoro pezvingaitika kana isu tabatwa, kunyangwe ndaiziva kuti taive mungozi yerefu jeri. Izvo hazvina kumbooma pfungwa dzangu. Chaive chanyanya mufaro wekutsvedza nemurenje pane chinangwa chorunyararo neboka revamwe.
Kwenguva yakati zvino kwave kuve netsika ye "mafambiro erunyararo" pamabhiza emauto achitenderera nyika kupupura nezverunyararo - kazhinji makristu anosanganisa pacifism netsika yechitendero cherwendo rutsvene kumira pachena mukupokana nehondo. PaPine Gap, paSooal Bay Bay muQueensland uko mauto eU.S. neAustralia vanoita maidziridzo ekurovedza, paSwan Island uko SAS inoronga mabasa ayo akasarudzika. Ini ndiri fan weyepfungwa yekufamba - tiri kukanganisa veruzhinji gadziriro yehondo asiwo rwendo rurefu rwunopa mukana wekufungisisa zvazvinoreva kuraramira rugare muhupenyu hwedu pachedu, hukama hwedu, nzanga yedu.
Uyezve ndaigona kufungisisa nezvevanhu vandaifambisa rwendo rwacho. Ndakadada nekufamba navo. Jim naMargaret vese vaive vechakareba kwenguva refu - ivo vanga vachiita zvinhu izvi kubva ndisati ndazvarwa. Ivo vaviri vari kukurudzira kwandiri pamwe neshamwari - kune kuzvipira kwavo kwavakaratidza kune ichi chikonzero kuburikidza nekukunda uye kusuwa; kubudikidza nekuve mubereki uye nekufamba kwenguva. Ini ndakanga ndasungwa pamwe navo kaviri zvakapfuura nekuda kwechimwe chikonzero.
Pakanga paine Tim naFranz - vandaigara navo mumba. Isu hatingogovana nzvimbo, chikafu uye zviwanikwa; kunyangwe isu tichigovana nazvo. Isu tinogovana tsika uye zviroto - tinosarudza kuedza kurarama nenzira yakatosiyana kubva kutsika yakatikomberedza soutiziro hushoma kubva kune yakazvimiririra, ine mari-yakatarisana nenyika yakatipota; se chapupu cheimwe nzira dzakasiyana izvo zvinogoneka. Uye zvino sekuwedzerwa kweprojekiti isu taifamba pamwe kuenda kune imwe yemashure emasimba ehondo yenyika - uye tichizviita pamwe chete.
Zvakadaro, kufamba dzimwe nguva kungave kwakaoma kufamba. Takafamba tichikwira nekudzika zvikomo. Matombo uye spinifex huswa pasi petsoka dzaive dzakapinza zvekuti kunyange Jim, uyo aisambo (uye ndinoreva kamwe) akapfeka chero shangu, aive mune yejogger yaakange awana kumba (vangangove emumwe wevana vake). Margaret anga achiona munhu chaiye wekudzidzisa mukuyedza kuti akwane kushanyarika kwekufamba uku, asi aive zvakare aneta kubva kune rimwe rese basa rinotenderera pakuedza kuita izvi - misangano, kuronga, kuburitswa kwenhau, kubatana.
Kwaari nevamwe, yaive yechipiri nguva yavakaita izvi manheru ekufamba kwemazuva mana. Margaret akange ave kuneta uye kupererwa. Sezvo taifamba tichidzika nezvikomo, iye akabata ruoko rwangu kuti asimbe.
Takafamba takamira zvishoma munzira. Mukuchengeta neyekupisa sensor yekuchenjerera, isu taizopararira kumira. Ini ndairara pasi ndotarira kumusoro kwenyeredzi, sezvo ini kazhinji ndinoita husiku hwese kunze kweguta. Manheru ano kunyangwe hazvo zvaive zvisiri zvinogutsa semazuva ese. Kune imwe, mwenje wakakura wePine Gap unogadzira kusvibiswa kwemwenje uko kunoita kuti nyeredzi dzisaite sezvadzinowanzoita mugwenga. Uye ipapo pakanga paine nyeredzi dzinopfura - kazhinji ichi mufaro unonakidza, asi manheru ano ndakafanana naBilly Bragg achiratidzira kuti zvimwe vangangodaro satellite. Satellites iyo Pine Gap inoshandisa kuuraya vanhu kune rumwe rutivi rwenyika.
Zvisinei, takafamba tichienda. Kusaona zvisizvo kwatakaitirwa isu takakwira zvisina musoro uye takazoburuka chikomo chakakura kwazvo. Yakanga isiri chaiyo yakanaka, asi isu takaramba tichifamba. Uye ipapo isu taive takatarisa kune wekunze fenzi. Mufaro wedu kunyangwe waipfurwa. Taigona kuona zviono pachikomo pakati pedu nechepasi chaipo. Tainzwa manzwi aitaura neumwe neumwe padzirosi. Izvo hazvina kumbo shamisa, chaizvo. Mapurisa anokwanisa kuwana akawanda emagetsi ekutarisa, Pine Gap akatonyanya. Asi pamwe vaisada kana. Vangangove vaitarisira kuti taizoedza kupinda zvakare uye vakatimirira.
Chero nzira, chirongwa chedu chekusvika pamusoro pechikomo icho, kusunungura zviridzwa uye kuita chechichema chedu tichiona maziso ezasi aive achitaridzika. Urongwa hutsva hwaive hwekuenda nekukurumidza sezvataigona uye tinovimba kuti taikwanisa kuita chimwe chikamu tisati tasungwa. Takapfuura nepafenzi.
Basa rangu, sezvandakanga ndapihwa husiku ihwohwo, raive cameraman. Zvebasa iri ndakanga ndarongedzerwa nefoni kamera uye musoro torch yekubatidza. Ndakanga ndakatarisira kuti ndichave nenguva shoma kuti ndiwane kupfura chaiko. Uku kwaive kutanga kuratidzika kunge kusingafungike, uye pataive nesimba-ndokukwira kukomo ini ndakanga ndichivhura foni ndichiisa torch mumusoro wangu.
Isu tanga tiri pakati pechikomo uye zvinoshamisa, mapurisa haana kuita kunge achiri kutiona. Margaret aive aneta zvakadaro. Akabata viola yake panze. Ndakazevezera / ndakashevedzera kuna Franz kuti adzoke atore gitare rake. Chishamiso, zviridzwa zvacho zvaiimbwa. Sezvo zvairidzwa uye ini ndikapenya torch kuyedza kuwana foto, mutambo wedu wakamuka. Iwo mapurisa aive achiuya kwatiri izvozvi.
Takanga tichiri kufambisa pfungwa iwe, uchivamhanyisa kuenda pamusoro pechikomo paizogadzikwa Pine Gap pamberi pedu. Kuchema kwedu kwakava mudungwe - Jim akabata picha yemwana akafa kubva kuhondo muIraq, Franz achitamba gitare, Tim akatakura amp wake, Margaret pane viola. Ini ndanga ndichiedza kuzviita zvese mukupfura kunyangwe chokwadi munhu wese (kusanganisira ini) aifamba nekukwira chikomo chaive chakapomba uye chiyedza chega chandaive nacho yaive gonhi rinonzwisa tsitsi remusoro torch. Zvinotenderedzwa kutaura, iyo inotevera tsoka haisi yebasa rangu rakanaka. Kuziva kuti taisazombotora foni kana memory memory back, yangu yekutarisa yaive yekuita chokwadi kuti ichaisa. Saka ini ndaizonyora zvishoma ndobva ndarova iyo upload kifungo.
Kuchema kwakajairwa kunotanga zvishoma nezvishoma, ine rwiyo rwekuchema maviri riff roridzwa kwekanguva. Zvinova nani kubva ipapo neimwe inoshamisa viola kutamba. Asi zvinosuruvarisa, taisazosvika ikoko. Mapurisa aive zvino ave pamusoro pedu. Vakapfuura vaimbi, vachishevedzera "Ari kuridza mhere!" ndokunanga kwandiri. Yakanga iri 4am uye nhepfenyuro yedu, yemasonson akajeka, anga asina kushambadzwa kare Asi zvinofadza kuziva kuti chero munhu mumwechete aizviona zvichirarama. Ndakamhanya kubva kumapurisa, ndichiri kuyedza kutora firimu ndikarova bhatani re "upload". Zvichida zvakanditengera masekondi mashoma, asi ndizvozvo. Sezvandakaenda zvisina maturo, mumwe mupurisa akandibata muvhu rakaoma. Mumwe akabva adonha pamusoro pangu, achipuruzira foni muruoko rwangu. Vakasandudzira maoko angu kumashure uye netambo-vakasunga iwo pamwe chete akasimba sezvavaigona. Nemupurisa mumwe kuruoko rumwe norumwe, vakandidhonza kuenda pamusoro pegomo. Zvakaoma kurapwa kwakaipisisa kwaungatarisira kubva kumapurisa, asi ndinozvitaura nekuti pandakasvika kumusoro ndakaona vamwe vangu vakagara vese. Zviripachena kuti ivo vaive vatenderwa kufamba kuenda kumusoro vasina kumiswa uye vasina kuturika ruoko pavari!
MuNorth Territory, kumashure kwengoro dzemapurisa ingori matanga chete. Izvi zvinoitwa ndine chokwadi chekumisa mapurisa achibika vanhu kuti vafe mukupisa (a la Mr Ward muna 2008), asi muhusiku hwedenga husiku zvinoita rwendo runotonhora kwazvo rwehafu yeawa kudzokera kuna Alice. Kunyanya kuna Franz, uyo nekuda kwechimwe chikonzero akabviswa juzi rake nemapurisa. Neraki ini naTim takanga tabvisa magumbeze edu ekunyepedzera, ayo Franz akamonera muviri wake waidedera.
Zvakaitika mumba yekutandarira zvaive zvakanaka hazvo - kurara, kuchinjirwa kuenda kunobvunzurudzwa kwaunoramba kutaura chero chinhu, kupihwa chikafu chekuseni (uye taita zvedu zvekudya zvichitenderedza - Tim achingove nyama yekudya chete ; Franz ari vegan akachinjana sangweji yake kuti awedzere michero), kunetseka. Zvakaipa kupfuura kuvharwa muchitokisi kuri kuvharwa muchitokisi neTV pazere vhoriyamu, kunyange isu takawana kunakidzwa pane imwe nguva kubva pakuona vanhu vachizvikuvadza pa "Wipeout". Pakati pezuva ratadaidzwa kuti tiende kudare kwataifungidzira kuti kuchava kutaridzika zvakanaka kwedare.
Ini ndinofanirwa kuziva panguva ino kuti hatina kubhadharwa kwete nechero ipi zvaro yakapfupikiswa mhosva yaunowana yekuratidzira basa. Pine Gap ine mutemo wayo - iyo Defense (Special Undertakings) Act. Pasi payo, kudarika kunorangwa nejere repamakore manomwe. Kutora mafoto ndeimwe manomwe. Mutemo wakashandiswa zvisati zvaitika kamwechete munhoroondo (kunyange vanhu vazhinji vakafamba vachienda kuPine Gapasati) - yaive mushure mekuongororwa kwe "mugari" nezvombo zvekuparadza kwevanhu vakawanda zvakaitwa neboka revanhu vana kusanganisira yedu Jim Dowling naMargaret's murume wekupedzisira Bryan Mutemo mu2005. Vakawanikwa vaine mhosva uye vakapihwa mutongo, asi muchuchisi paakakwidza mitongo (ivo vakanzwa kuti vana vaifanira kunge vaenda kujeri), dare repamusoro rakaburitsa mhosva dzavainge vatanga. Mutemo waive wekuchengetedza zvivakwa, dare rakati; uye nekuramba kubvumidza chero humbowo hwekuti Pine Gap akaita chii chaizvo dare raitadza kuona kuti Pine Gap chaicho yaive nzvimbo inoenderana nekudzivirira kweAustralia.
Hurumende yakapindura nekushandura mutemo mu2008 kuti gakava risagone kushandiswa zvakare. Chimwe chinhu chinotyisa nehove nezve izvo zvoita chaizvo. Asi handiyo chete chinhu chisina kujairika pamusoro pemutemo uyu. Nekuda kwekunetseka kwakanyanya kwechirango ichi, haugone kubhadhara mumwe munhu anoshandisa chiitiko ichi pasina mvumo yakataurwa negweta remutemo. Uye mune iyi nyaya, George Brandis aiita kunge asiri kupindura foni yake. Saka mapurisa anga atotiudza kuti vaisakwanisa kutibhadhara uye vangadai vari kutsvaga kutongerwa mhosva. Izvo zvaive zvakanaka nesu, isu taingoda kuti tivheneke court rimwe munzira. Asi zvakati, patakagara mumasokisi akabata kuseri kwechivanze, zvinhu zvakatanga kuita kupenga.
Gweta revashandi muAlice Springs zuva riya rakangoitika kunge wekare wekuratidzira akaziva vamwe vevashandi vedu kubva pakupedzisira Pine Gap kudarika. Patakagara muchitokisi chakabata, akapinda ndokutiudza kuti akanzwa muchuchisi achipikisa bheji. Dai ivo vakabudirira, izvi zvaizoreva kuti taizotongerwa jeri muAlf Springs, zvirinani kutozosvikira vawana George Brandis 'siginecha. Izvo zvaizove zvisati zvamboitika - kazhinji bheji rinongorambwa kune vanhu vanoonekwa sengozi yekutiza kana njodzi kunharaunda.
Takataura nezvazvo uye tikabvumirana kuti hazvifanirwe kuve zvakawandisa kupokana nazvo pamberi pemutongi. Takava nekumwe kushamisika muchitoro zvakadaro. Yakwana nguva yekukwira kudare, isu tese hatina kushevedzwa. Mumwechete munhu akaburitswa muchitokisi ndokukwira kudare - Franz. Kuita zvakanaka kudare, Franz aive wekutanga murunyorwa rwealfabheti. Asi iye zvakare aive mudiki (19) uye akange asina ruzivo rwechivanze zvachose. Iye zvino aifanira kutora kupomerana kwake utsinye ari ega. Sezvineiwo mukati medare shamwari yedu mutemeri webasa akasimuka (achibuda mudare protocol) kutaura kuti zvaive zvisina mhosva kufonera Franz ari ega. Mukati mechitokisi, isu takamupa mirairo yepamutemo yekutya - "bvisa kufungidzira kwe bail!" Franz akabuda muchitokisi, isu vamwe takagara tichitya.
Iye anga asati adzoka apo magadhi paakadaidza ini naJim. Isu takanga tisina chokwadi chekutarisira, asi zvaive zvisiri kuti isu taizomira uye tinoudzwa mhosva dzavaive dzidzikiswa. Uye zvakadaro ndizvo zvakaitika - patakanga tichiri muchitokisi, mutongi Daynor Trigg anga achipikisana nemuchuchisi weDziviriro (Special Undertakings) Act. Maererano neshumo renhau yeABC, Trigg akange adaidza mutemo kuti "mutemo husina basa". Pasina mvumo yeMunyori-Mukuru, takatadza kupomerwa mhosva. Ndozvinotaurwa nemutemo, saka isu tange tapihwa zvisina kufanira uye tanga tave kusununguka kuenda.
Kunze kwedare kwaive nekufara kubva kuboka guru revatsigiri. Paivawo nemacamera enhau. Takabuda, tikataura zvishoma kumamera. Franz naMargaret vakatanga kutamba yavo Pine Gap inochema isina kuvhiringidzwa. Ipapo ndipo patakazofanira kugara pasi tizorore zvishoma. Yakanga iri mazuva anopenga.
Iyo crazness yakanga isati yatombo pfuura ipapo. Kunze kwebasa risingaperi renhau (zvese zvetsika nedzemagariro), kuuya pamusoro pedu kwaive tarisiro yemapurisa kuwana kuenda-mberi nekudzoka kuzotibata. Nevhiki inouya uye dare rakavharwa, takanga takatarisa mazuva akati wandei muchitokisi - zvingangoita zvimwe. Isu takanga tarisiro yekubva mudhorobha mumazuva maviri uye kuti munhu wese adzokere kuhupenyu hwezuva nezuva muQueensland. Izvo zvakasarudzwa kuti isu tinofanirwa kuenda kune imwe nhumbi kunze kwedhorobha uye tirare pasi kwemazuva anotevera.
Zvichakadaro, muAlice Springs, imwe yeshamwari dzangu dzepamusoro kubva kusekondari iri kuona nhau uye inondiona kunze kwekamuri redare. Isu tanga tisati tave nekukurukurirana kwemakore, asi haisi mazuva ese shamwari yakare inouya kunzvimbo tsvuku - saka Joel (shamwari yangu), achiziva kwaive nekamba yekuratidzira yaive, akananga uko kunoti g'day.
Kunze kwemavhiki akaenzana asina kujairika, izvi zvishoma zvinogona kunge zviri zvinoshamisa chikamu chenhau yacho. Nekuti Joel paakasimuka kumusasa kuti anoona shamwari yake yekare, akawana chete boka revarwi vaitarisira kuti mapurisa aive kumashure kwangu uye vasingafarire kubatsira kutsvaga. Saka so boy boy / footy player / simbi mutengesi Joel akadzungaira kusvika kune vashoma vanhu vachibvunza angu kuti aripi, zvese zvaakawana vanhu vaiti ivo havana kumbonzwa nezvaAndy Paine. Akaburitsa foni yake ndokuvaratidza mufananidzo ini uyo wanga uri munhau. Ivo vakabatikana.
Pakupedzisira, mumwe munhu akatora nhamba yake akaitumira kwandiri. Ndakafara kumubata, mushure mekuyedza kutsanangurira shamwari yangu imwe pfungwa yakamunetsa kuti nei ainetseka zvakanyanya kusvika pandiri. Rakanga zvino rari zuva redu rekupedzisira munaAlice, saka mushure mechinguva yakareba kubata, ini ndakadzokera kuimba yekudyidzana yandakanga ndagara kuti nditaure zvakanaka ipapo. Musangano weIPAN we “kupedza hondo” wakatanga, asi mushure memavhiki anonetesa, ndakazvipfuudza uye panzvimbo pacho ndakatarisa Western Bulldogs ichikunda mureza weAFL paTodd Hotel. Husiku hwakapera paine kenduru yakavhenekerwa "rugare boka" kubva mukutarisa mukati meguta. Ikoko (mushure mekunge ini ndaimhanyisa mune imwe shamwari yekare zvisina musoro) takataura zvakanaka zvedu kwekupedzisira kushamwari dzekare, shamwari nyowani, shamwari dzako, hippies anopenga uye guta reAlice Springs. Takapinda muveni ndokutyaira tichienda kumawere egwenga.
Nyaya haigumiri ipapo. Mushure memaawa e40 akananga kumadhiraivha anotenderera, takatendeuka kumashure muBrisbane munguva inguva yekugamuchirwa kune kubatana kurwisa-Pine Gap chiito. Mwedzi yakati wandei yakatevera, George Brandis akazotenderera achitarisa voicemail yake ndokusaina memo. Isu takatumirwa mhosva yedu mutsamba, uye munaNovember vachange vachidzokera kugwenga kunopokana kuti vanhu vanouraya nekuparadza muhondo, kwete avo vanodzivisa, ndivo tsotsi chairo. Chitsauko chinotevera muchidimbu cherefu chekuedza kugadzira nyika ine rugare.
