Kakadu remains discovery prompts bushwalker warning

Parks Australia North (PAN) says visitors to Kakadu National Park should stick to the path to avoid trespassing on Aboriginal sacred sites.

A bushwalker who strayed from the walking path near Nourlangie Rock last week discovered the remains of an Aboriginal man at what is believed to be a traditional burial site.

Peter Wellings from PAN says traditional owners are concerned.

“The arrangement for access to Kakadu, like most national parks, is visitors are encouraged and welcome, but we ask that visitors go to approved places,” he said.

“In our case, we’ve cleared [them] with traditional owners.

“And that’s why it’s a general rule in national parks that you go to places only that are open.”

“Using RSS and Blogs for Research”

A free half hour course offered by the library tomorrow… I assume they’ll be coming from the reader’s side of the fence, but I’m going on the off chance they’ll include the blogger’s side. Carte blanch, nay, good reason to blog from work could be a result. Worth half an hour to find out. (1st Lecture is in 12 days)
