It needs to talk to you.

In this valley you are only an hour from your countryâs federal parliament. But the political decisions here began 120,000 years ago. Evidence of the culture is all about you as you walk through this national park â rock art, scar trees, stone arrangements, tools. It is so tempting to take a souvenir but please stay your hand. Those specimens have yet to be fully studied and we need them to explain and defend our culture.
We need our cultural objects in situ, not on your mantelpiece only to be turfed out by your grandkids when you die.
