In The Corner – Vixen

This corner is from along the way on the Bullawah Trail, in Wangaratta, Victoria.

The traditional owners of this land are the Pangerang (Bangerang) people. In Pangeramg language, ‘bulla’ means two and ‘wah’ means water. The word Bullawah signifies the joining of two rivers in this area and the coming together of Indigenous and non-Indigenous people.

The Bullawah Trail is a self-guided walk where you can explore ancient Aboriginal stories, culture, sculptures, and a Bush Tucker Garden.

The irony here is twofold. Firstly, this image is pure graffiti – and not part of the trail at all! Yet, its prominence certainly draws and distracts the eye as you meander the river.

Secondly, in Australia, foxes are an introduced species. They have wreaked havoc on our native animals and local environment. Foxes are considered a pest with government ‘management’ programs in place to control their impact.

A most vexatious vixen indeed!
