What if we told you the world’s first bakers weren’t Egyptian… but Indigenous Australian?

Most people credit ancient Egypt with the birth of baking—around 17,000 BCE. But in Australia, grindstones used to make flour from native seeds have been dated to 30,000 years ago.

At Cuddie Springs in New South Wales, archaeologists uncovered a grinding stone used by First Nations people to process grass seeds into flour—12,000 years before the Egyptians even started experimenting with bread.

This isn’t just an archaeological fact—it’s a window into a highly sophisticated civilisation. A culture that:
• Cultivated crops like the yam daisy
• Engineered waterways to sustain food systems
• Built spiritual economies and sacred sites
• Lived in harmony with the land and climate for over 60,000 years
• Thrived without warfare in many regions for millennia

Yet, how often is this story told?

Why don’t we learn more about:
• The yam daisy monocultures (murnong) that stretched across Victoria before colonial grazing destroyed them?
• The Brewarrina fish traps (Baiame’s Ngunnhu) in northern NSW—potentially the oldest human-made structure on Earth?

For my Taylor Swift fangirl kiddos, as we connect the dots and meanings within her songs, here's my contribution to the discussion. Beauty and the Beast references within Anti-Hero, "monster on the hill" and "tale as old as time" to Clara Bow, You'd be picked like a rose" and "Beauty is a beast that roars down on all fours". Agree?

If you know me well, you know I’m a big Crowded House fan.

So many current events have made me feel overwhelmed, and again to the rescue is CH. This video hurts my heart a bit and that’s why it’s so good. Can we reconnect to the innocent child inside us all right now and give each other some grace?
