In the editorial of the October 2008 issue of Wild Magazine, Ross Taylor describes his own sense of belonging to a bushland area he has known since childhood, The Grampians National Park in Victoria:
Wild places change us if we choose to embrace them; it is hard to delineate how, but for me it is an opening to a different relationship with the land. I like the idea of belonging to the land rather than owning it. It seems like a more sustainable philosophy than our current path of endless acquisition and growth.
Taylor shares his memories from childhood and more recent visits.
