“The Hansens were employed at Glenormiston Station in the Channel Country, and from time to time would visit sacred sites in the region to maintain them and retell their songs and stories.

The people of the station referred to this as “going walkabout” as if it was trivial, but it was an important part of maintaining their connection to Country. Isabel was brought up on that Country”

The highest human-occupied #Australian rock shelter from the Last Glacial Maximum, peak Ice Age 20,000 years ago.

'Archaeologists say the huge rock hollow was a camping spot “kind of like the Hyatt of the mountains”, occupied continuously until about 400 years ago.'
..
'The groundbreaking study, funded by the Australian Museum Foundation, was a collaboration between archaeologists and Aboriginal custodians who have spent six years mapping rock shelters across the greater Blue Mountains area, spanning 1m hectares of mostly untouched wilderness west of Sydney.

'Some sites are known only to a handful of Aboriginal people or intrepid bushwalkers. Others have only just been rediscovered.'
