The man who shifted stones that were placed in the shape of an eel by Aboriginal people more than 1,500 years ago in western Victoria has apologised for his actions.
Key points:
Adrian says he hoped the stones can be restored
Traditional owner John Clarke says he has had "horrible" conversations with elders as they processed the damage
The head of a national native title body says the incident demonstrates the need for stronger heritage site protections
Lake Bolac resident Adrian, whose family owns one of the properties the stone arrangement sits on, said he didn't realise the stones he moved with a loader over the Easter weekend were culturally significant.
