The region is accessible by road and air from Adelaide, the capital of South Australia. Much of the central part of the region is held under private leasehold as a wilderness sanctuary. The lessees are highly supportive of scientific and technological research. The region and its hinterland have a diversity of geological and astrobiological features of interest for Mars research and Mars exploration. These include: GEOLOGY • Modern and ancient (Neoproterozoic, Carboniferous) hydrothermal systems; • Gravel outwash plains of the present desert environment; • Late Proterozoic Wooltana Basalt with localised quartz-haematite breccia veins; • Neoproterozoic evaporitic non-clastic and minor carbonate sediments Of the Callanna and Burra Groups; • Pre-Cretaceous weathering surfaces; • Cretaceous marine shoreline deposits; • Playa lakes • Artesian springs; • Dune fields; • Iron, silica, carbonate and sulphate duricrusts; • Pleistocene high level gravels of fans and pediments, and • Holocene creek gravels.

Institutionalisation of Aborigines, under the guise of assimilation and protection policies, was only abandoned in.the lg7Os. It is therefore important to understand the implications of these policies for Aborigines and Australian society in general. I investigate the affect of institutionalisation on Aborigines, questioning the assumption tl.at they were passive victims forced onto missions and government stations and kept there as virtual prisoners.
