  • The Gunditjmara Land Justice Story Jessica K Weir
    The legal outcomes the Gunditjmara achieved in the 1980s are often overlooked in the history of land rights and native title in Australia. The High Court Onus v Alcoa case and the subsequent settlement negotiated with the State of Victoria, sit alongside other well known bench marks in our land rights history, including the Gurindji strike (also known as the Wave Hill Walk-Off) and land claim that led to the development of land rights legislation in the Northern Territory. This publication links the experiences in the 1980s with the Gunditjmara’s present day recognition of native title, and considers the possibilities and limitations of native title within the broader context of land justice.

  • Banyule City Council Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan
    INNOVATE RECONCILIATION ACTION PLAN September 2020 - September 2022 Mam-badool Djerring Let’s work together 1 Aboriginal artist and artwork acknowledgement Fire, Water, Land (2019) Artwork and story by Judy Nicholson, Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung artist. “Before people mastered the fire, the diet consisted mainly of seeds, plants and fruits, but much of the plants could not be digested. By heat-treating them, more plants could be eaten, and new nutrients were available. The heat killed parasites and made it easier to digest meat. Something that led to a higher calorie and nutritional intake, which made it easier to survive and have more children.” Banyule Council selected this beautiful piece of artwork for our RAP cover, as the short-finned eels and the Australian raven both feature in this picture and are recognised by the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung as being historically significant animals to Banyule Flats. The Australian Raven is known as Whaa and is the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people’s moiety. Banyule Flats was also an important area of annual eel trapping and spear fishing for Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung People. Eagle Dreaming – Bunjil’s Wives (2019) Artwork and story by Judy Nicholson “During mating season from the months of June to August, the nest, though defended from other wedge-tailed eagles, is left unprotected from other predators. Parents will play an equal role in providing food for their chicks but will continue to offer little in the way of protection. By Inhabiting the banks of the Yarra (Birrarung) and its developments Bunjil is able to secure his territory and family by making an honest agreement with Whaa the crow that “no-one ever take fire into their own hands without careful consideration of others first”.
