Kesas alSafar

Out of the Woods
It is hard to imagine that little over two centuries ago, the Greater Sydney area was covered in lush forest and grassland. For tens of thousands of years, the original people of the area had utilised the wooden products of the region to make tools for hunting and gathering and also for decorative and ceremonial purposes. Through the process of timber getting, since the arrival of European settlers, the landscape was progressively altered and irrevocably changed within a century.

Great Expections: A Birth Journey in Australia
Every woman who has given birth has experienced a unique physical journey. For some it is like running a marathon, hard but satisfying. For others it is a spiritual event. Different lives generate different births. But despite the diversity of the experience, commonalities can be found in birth experiences of the past and present.
Great Expectations examines what childbirth was like for women in the past and how this has changed with advances in medical knowledge, improvements
in social conditions and education giving prespective to the issues women and families face today.
