#Australia - ‘Gone forever’: political anger after #NSW #Aboriginal #HeritageSite bulldozed for power lines
The #RockShelter was destroyed by contractors building #TransmissionLines for the Central-West Orana #RenewableEnergyZone
Petra Stock
Wed 27 May 2026"#Indigenous community members have described their shock and anger after an Aboriginal rock shelter was 'damaged beyond recovery' by contractors building transmission lines for a #NewSouthWales renewable energy zone.
"The #HeritageSite was destroyed by bulldozers in March during the construction of access tracks for the #CentralWestOrana renewable energy zone, a transmission line project located about 300km north-west of #Sydney.
"The network company #Acerez, engaged by the state government to design, build and operate the infrastructure project, discovered the damage in May while undertaking due diligence checks.
"A company spokesperson said processes to protect the shelter 'were not fully implemented'.
" 'We are deeply sorry and apologise without reservation to the #TraditionalOwners and to the local community,' they said."

#SouthAustralia - #PointPearce #FirstNations #CultureGarden
"#LandcareAustralia is proud to partner with #PointPearceAboriginalCorporation in establishing a First Nations community-led conservation and education project. Located in South #Australia’s Point Pearce in the #WardangIsland #IndigenousProtectedArea (IPA), the project is led by the #TraditionalOwners, the #Narungga people, and aims to support #Indigenous youth to learn about their Cultural heritage and knowledge that will lead to career and leadership pathways in #EnvironmentalConservation.
At the heart of this initiative is the Point Pearce First Nations Culture Garden, a space where #Elders, #FirstNationsRangers, and #IndigenousYouth come together to bridge and transfer #CulturalKnowledge. Designed as a hands-on learning environment, it will inspire young people to explore environmental conservation, deepen their appreciation for the natural world and discover career pathways that utilise Cultural knowledge.
The Culture Garden will feature a #medicinal and #ceremonial plant area, #NativeBushFoods, water features to attract #wildlife, #SensoryGarden, and dedicated spaces for learning and Cultural practice. With a #seedling #propagation zone, a #NativeSeed cleaning station, a fruit and nut #orchard, and interpretive walking trail. More than just a garden, it serves as a ‘cultural learning hub’—fostering pride and offering a comprehensive setting for community events, educational programs, and vocational training opportunities. With funding from #OneTreePlanted, the tree planting will also help #restore #NativeVegetation and improve habitat for threatened species including the Southern Hairy-nosed #Wombat.
Aligned with the South Australian Department for Education’s Aboriginal Education Strategy, the project aims to inspire engagement, Cultural pride, and environmental responsibility among First Nations students. It focuses on educational outcomes and how Cultural activities can play in enhancing social and academic competence among First Nations students."

Unfinished business
"A shameful death after a supermarket scuffle shines a light on Australia’s unfinished business. From compensation for the Stolen Generations to Indigenous recognition, Australia must follow words with actions."
"There is unfinished business in this country, and there can be no excuses for not knowing or understanding. We need to change direction and remove the burden from the most vulnerable."
"In a land of home improvers surely the principle of fixing the foundations first if you want to really close the gaps is obvious."
