“What if I told you there was a place a long long long time ago, that doesn’t seem so long ago.
A place that time hasn’t forgotten but has remembered
Where the past is still as present as the present
A place where giant ships are greeted by pristine lakeside castles
A place where History is brought to life
Where Indigenous people who have been here for time immemorial are walking forward together with those who have journeyed from afar to find home.
Journey back in time on your way to finding awesome.”
