Living and working so far from my Grandmother’s Country takes its toll on me at times so when I travel home I make a point of visiting this tree, a Gumbi Gumbi tree.

As I walked out of the gas chambers into the garden the tears which had been building in the last few moments of our tour began to flow like a flooded river. I was overwhelmed and quite unprepared for the torrent of emotion I felt in that moment.
