“Country has to be like a person, it has to be sung to and talked to - people worry over it... If, for any reason, the Country is neglected for a long period of time it will ‘close up’ and die, it will lose its animation until the people who are responsible for their Country re-nurture it through song, dance and performance - by going there and reanimating it.”
Margo Neale via Goldfields Libraries (2020). ‘Lynne Kelly & Margo Neale ~ Songlines’ 44:19-44:59. Retrieved September 18 via <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQEmDl8yCo>
