Heather Blakey, the webmaster of the Soul Food Cafe and Outback Online is, amongst many things, a Billabong Dreamer. She likes to sit by the billabong, typing, recalling, giving voice to her ancestors.
Alongside the billabong Heather hears the voice of her great grandfather, George Chale Watson, who spent seven years surveying the Never Never and sometimes, when she listens particularly carefully, she can hear the sounds of the convict ships that her great great grandparents sailed from England to Australia on.
By the Billabong, Heather has her hardy laptop which she uses to build niche, virtual communities.
