| Summary |
Australia's leading rock art expert says this precious heritage could disappear within fifty years unless governments take action. Film legend Jack Thompson has joined calls to preserve this history before it's too late. Court action against a well known newspaper columnist who questioned the Indigenous credentials of light skinned Aboriginal people has created a furore over the issue of Aboriginality. Amid the debate, we ask Indigenous Australians whether skin colour determines your cultural identity. In Victoria, we head to Lake Condah, where the Gunditjmara people are blending ancient and contemporary science to discover new species. And we catch up with the Pigram Brothers as they tour the country with singer Alex Lloyd with songs they've sung for the film Mad Bastards |
