Deadly indeed! Damein, Denis, Eileen and all, a massive congratulations! I've watched from the sidelines for most of my life as this proud story of traditional ownership and rich culture has been able to be shared. Saving the water of Tae Rak and its life cycle, saving the culture and language and then sharing it widely..what a gift to the world. Thank you all for never giving up!
Phenomenal achievement! Congratulations to Eileen Alberts, Denis Rose, Michael Bell and all the rest of the team that went to Azerbaijan for the recognition of Budj Bim as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. All Australians should be proud of what the Gunditjmara people have achieved in preserving this magnificent cultural landscape for both present and future generations. - Regards Peter Bakker
The alteration of watercourses to enable fish and eel aquaculture must have been practiced in almost every practical area in Australia prior to European settlement. It just makes sense that draining one pond into another and then collecting the fish and eel stranded in the shallow water is such an efficient way to obtain food. The success of this form of aqua culture is verified by the remnants we see now. I’m sure is more investigation was undertaken aquaculture areas would be found in other places of Australia.
Great work!! What an achievement. I am proud to say i used to work as a budj bim ranger with my cuzzyyss. Miss home. 🖤 #proudGunditjmara
What a great piece of history, anyone from Australia should know about this.
