In a corner of regional Victoria exists a place of astounding natural beauty, archaeological significance and age-old culture. But the Indigenous scarred trees and artefacts found here are at risk. With the blessing of the local Dja Dja Wurrung People, white horticulturist Paul Haw has made it his mission to care for Lake Boort and its surrounds.
**_The Lake of Scars_** is a beautiful, compelling and poignant telling of the history of this sacred place in Western Australia. Historian Paul Haw works tirelessly with the local Aboriginal people to conserve the scar trees and to make sure they are there for generations to come.
Informative and heartfelt storytelling at it's best, **_The Lake of Scars_**, is a story for everyone and shouldn't be missed.
An interesting look into the past of the Aboriginal culture surrounding a remote lake in Western Australia. The heartfelt story is told by historian Paul Haw and the late Uncle Jack Charles who work(ed) tirelessly to conserve this sacred place.
The visuals are beautiful, the music haunting and the story is one that needs to be told so future generations can continue the conservation efforts.
If you like history and learning new things and ideas, I would highly recommend The Lake of Scars.
