Check your 4wd to ensure it has an anchor point for attaching
a tow rope or snatch strap, many current model 4x4 cars do not
have this as standard but becomes essential when needing a
tow after becoming stuck
This issue we have an article announcing the new Indigepass and indigenous tours to Fraser Island. As i am typing this newsletter the Fraser Island Aboriginal People are holding and Indigefest to announce the launch of the passes and tours to the Island and providing an interesting selection of native food for all to sample.
We can expect to here more of this in the media over the next few weeks.
The Indigepass is issued under the authority of Elder John Dalundalee Jones of the
Dalungbara Aboriginal people of Fraser Island, representing the Dalungbara, Ngulungbara
and the majority of the Batchala Aboriginal peoples of Fraser Island.
(pursuant to representation order, Supreme Court of QLD 1997)
The Indigepass is approximately half the cost of the permits from the QLD Parks and Wildlife service.
Fraser Island is owned by the above three Aboriginal peoples of Fraser Island as their possessory and Aboriginal titles have never been extinguished.
This is referred to in the Commission of Enquiry into the conservation, management and use of Fraser Island and the Great Sandy Region Supplementary Volume, Volume 1, Part 1 May 1991.
This submission to the UNESCO World Heritage Convention
was prepared for the QLD
government by
Barrister Justin Malbon and others,
prerequisite to Fraser Island being
"World Heritage Listed".
