"Rock: A Timeless Connection Across Boundaries" From the Little blue penguins perched on rocks, gazing at Melbourne's city lights, to the ancient Stone-age cave paintings in Chauvet, France, the power transcends time and geography, and is a symbol of strength and endurance that unites us all. Just like William Smith's Geological Map revolutionized our understanding of Earth's layers, it has shaped our planet for millions of years. It tells stories etched in its very core, reminding us of our place in this vast universe. In the realm of music, rock takes center stage. The electrifying energy of a Bruce Springsteen concert or U2's Joshua Tree tour ignites crowds worldwide. Their performances against backdrops adorned with Gibraltar posters or Keith Urban portraits capture the essence of rock's universal appeal. But beyond entertainment lies spirituality. Tibetan Buddhism finds solace amidst snow-capped Mount Kailash - an awe-inspiring sight along the pilgrims' trail. Its towering presence echoes the resilience found within ourselves when faced with life's challenges. Even aviation pays homage to this mighty force as Avro Shackleton MR2 WL751 soars over Gibraltar’s iconic Rock – a testament to human engineering marvels against nature’s grandeur. As winners emerge from COP26 Countdown Photo Competition 2021 featuring those little blue penguins standing tall on St Kilda breakwater rocks under Melbourne skies, we are reminded that unity can conquer any obstacle - just like these resilient creatures navigating their way through life together. So let us embrace the spirit embodied by rock – steadfastness in times of uncertainty and harmony amidst diversity. For it is through this connection that we find strength and inspiration to face whatever lies ahead on our journey through life's rocky terrain.
