There has to be something seriously amiss with proper process re: Heritage Register.

I keep seeing incidences of Aboriginal sacred places being removed from the heritage register.  This has to be corrupt. How can a site become UN SACRED is beyond me.

Desperate need for protection of sacred sites at the Pilliga as well.

To then have to go through the process of re registering has to be time consuming and money consuming all the while done to try to protect the mongrel government from being prevented to doing whatever it seemingly likes with no respect for this land and the longest known history on Earth.

Archaeological survey by state’s Department of Aboriginal Affairs identified no Aboriginal material at Bibra lake north site in Perth, despite 1970s study that uncovered more than 2,000 artifacts.

Heritage Photography of the Aboriginal people.

"Calling the Shots"  Aboriginal Photography is a very special book of photography of the Indigenous peoples of this land.  Earlier on there were many photographs that were not very nice but there were also interesting images that today a lot can be gleaned from regarding culture.   I have a book from the 1860's, The History of Australasia and this book contains many interesting images of aboriginal people in distinctly cultural situations participating in ceremony and corroboree.

I would love to peruse the entire book as the images I did saw here were extremely interesting and showed the depth these people had and still have to this very day.
