Any...a definite line needs to be drawn in the sand. Any artefact collected prior to October 1967, regardless of the land tenture it was collected, is the legal and lawful right of the owner to sell,swap or barter as they see fit. The smh headline is sensational and the whole point it is making is really about current legislation in nsw regarding aboriginal heritage sites , not the old farmer who saved two or three axes from destruction from machinery back in the 1950s and sat them on his verandah. <BR/> When and if these artefacts are given back to the local landscouncil or npws rep, they show up at caravan sites for tourist to buy. <BR/> Search any reputable tribal art dealer in sydney and you can purchase whatever aboriginal artefact you want.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
