Well then, aboriginals were successfully building their own houses for thousands of years, why did they change that success story for one of abysmal failure of today's comparison with Government housing.

The government's Home Ownership on Indigenous Land program spend A$10 million on administration to provide A$2.7 million for just 15 loans. The program's target were 460 loans.

Foxy, bulldust!
Again with the references.
Well you can bag me as much as you like, that's not going to EVER make me or anyone else with even the least bit of knowledge accept some of the stupid and rediculous numbers and so called facts, being thrown around by some people.
OK to make just one observation on the 60,000 to 80,000 year myth even try to stand up, tell me then where is all the evidence of all these 'wonders' these 'extremely intelligent' and 'capable' people lived by way back then?
If you are right they are supposed to have ascended to a level of social standing second to none compared to the developed world today.
According to you and your mates they had sophisticated systems of agriculture, aquaculture, farming, and lived in structures we would call houses today.
Apparently we have found evidence of sea going creatures in the central Australian desserts, even evidence of some form of dinosaur, but nowhere, nowhere is there ANY evidence of your womderous blacks to be found, and don't you dare bring up these rock circle findings, we have already debunked that stupid attempt at glorifying your black mates.
Foxy, in YOUR mind, you keep trying to put these people on pedestals and I'll keep knocking them down, back to earth, into reality and out of your mind and world of fantasy.

If what I write offends you

1) I'm sorry.

2) It won 't happen again.

3) 1 & 2 are both lies.

4) You're a wa**er!

LOL.

Here's some more food for thought:

Here is the Budj Bim Master plan:

As stated earlier the Andrews government has committed
millions for preserving and promoting Aboriginal
Heritage and in large part to complete the Master Plan for
Budj Bim in anticipation of an increase in global
attention to the World Heritage listing will bring.

Click on the site viewing - it looks impressive.

Foxy,

"This vital book demonstrates with convincing evidence
often from early explorer's journals, that the Aboriginal
peoples lived settled and sophisticated lives here for
millennia before Cook..."

You don't get it, do you?

How could explorers' journals from the mid-1800s shew something that existed thousands of years before Cook; all that the journals shew is what their writers observed.
