  • Description: A study of Aboriginal associations with Victorian caves finds that there is a rich cultural heritage associated with caves. This association has been found to be rich and varied in which caves and sink holes featured prominently in the lives of Aboriginal people - they were often the abodes of malevolent creatures and spirits and some were associated with important ancestral heroes, traditional harming practices, and some were important in the after death movement of souls to their resting places. Aboriginal names for caves, where known, are discussed.

  • Description: In this reconsideration of the Ladjiladji language area in north-west Victoria, we contend that while Tindale's 'classical' reconstruction of this language identified a fundamental error in Smyth's earlier cartographic representation, be incorrectly 'corrected' that error. We review what is known about Ladjiladji and through a careful analysis demonstrate not only the errors ill both Smyth and Tindale but also Proffer a fundamental reconstruction grounded ill the primary sources.
