Part 8 - The Fountain of Knowledge.
So, I placed myself in the position of a time traveler .
Here was a feeling of déjà vu.
I knew I had been here before, but it was never like this.
This was a derelict ruin, where once, as a child I had clambered the walls and run in the dried up beds of the pool, too small to reach up to the statues.
Yet now I was amazed.
The water had returned and a colossal fountain exuded forth.
Here was knowledge in extreme.
This had to result from a Fountain of Knowledge.
But sadly as the day began to end, and it was with a heavy heart that I left Perseus, astride Pegasus, in prosecution of Poseidon’s sea monster, as it pursued Andromeda.

The Tree of Knowledge
The little town of Barcaldine (bar–call-din) is pretty much smack in the middle of Queensland and about two days drive from Brisbane. It is in the heart of sheep country which has had a lot to do with its social history. It is known by some as “The Big Left Turn”. The spot where the Matilda Highway heading north finally makes a left turn to the west and becomes the Landsborough Highway.
Barcaldine was also at the heart of a major development in the fabric of the Australian society. It was the location for many gatherings of shearers in the 1880’s where for the first time Australian workers began to organise themselves in response to action by the squatters (landowners) to lower pay rates for shearers. Eventually the Australian Workers Union was formed and with it the momentum for the creation of a political arm, the Australian Labour Party.
Much of this discussion took place under a Paperbark tree on the edge of Barcaldine. This tree became known as The Tree of Knowledge. The tree held a special significance and given its age (about 200 years) much effort was put into ensuring its survival. In 2006 it was deliberately poisoned. The decision was made to preserve the tree. It was removed and essentially embalmed. It was then replaced at its original location and enclosed in an open box structure. Inside the structure the foliage of the tree is made up of timber beams suspended from wire ropes. These beams are recycled communication transmission poles from South Australia. The whole thing is a striking monument and comes alive at night from some clever lighting effects. It is also something of a wind chime and a reasonable breeze will have these 5,000 odd 6 metre long 100x100mm beams gently bumping together to produce some deeper harmonious notes and if one is there late at night when the street is quiet and one listens really hard enough, then one can hear very faintly the strident voices of those long gone shearers as they made their case for a fair go for all Australians

A tree says: A kernel is hidden in me, a spark, a thought, I am life from eternal life. The attempt and the risk that the eternal mother took with me is unique, unique the form and veins of my skin, unique the smallest play of leaves in my branches and the smallest scar on my bark. I was made to form and reveal the eternal in my smallest special detail. ― Hermann Hesse, Bäume. Betrachtungen und Gedichte

For those who have gotten wind of current defamation and untruthful claims against *ES* and our pose store in copying poses from a rival pose store we filed a DMCA giving us the right to show all evidence of our creations upload dates etc etc filing a DMCA (which is a proper legal channel for any content theft..not just copyright =p covered under the act of the DMCA) in showing just the opposite..that the accusers have copied poses from *ES*.
The reason Linden Lab has this process is to hold providers liable for creations unique to individuals and items they create in SL. Just like skins or clothes which are not copyrighted in most cases.
The Blog below is written by an SL member who understands what DMCA's are. It further explains the DMCA process and issues we have gone through in our name being defamed. We urge you to read. Should anyone have questions you may feel free to IM us in-world or drop us a flickrmail.
