Letter to the Editor
Here we go, a flexing of entitled, dictatorial muscle.
A little practice run for Vic – by some ambiguous claim …
A popular campsite renowned for its surf beach and coastal walking trails has been closed over concerns an Aboriginal site and its artefacts were impacted by camping activities.
Bear Gully Campground, located within the Cape Liptrap Coastal Park, (Wilsons Promontory), south of Melbourne has been closed until May 7 by the state government’s peak body for the management of National Parks, Parks Victoria. Beach access to the campsite has also been blocked.
The sudden closures comes after advice that camping and recreational activities within the park may have impacted an Aboriginal place and its artefacts.
“Parks Victoria is working with First Peoples – State Relations (FP-SR) to investigate and assess potential impacts on cultural heritage at this site,” a public notice on the Bear Gully Campground website states.

This is beyond a joke…things are getting worse by the day, the globalists are getting scared that they are losing so are upping the ante!
If this closing of camp sites is happening NOW, and the Voice hasn’t yet been voted on….stop and think what it will be like IF the Voice is voted in!
A hundred times worse…the thin edge of the wedge.
Another ‘thin edge of the wedge’ is banks refusing cash, closing branches and ATMs..yet no legislation has been passed about this?
They are readying us for Cashless!
The banks are as corrupt as the rest of them, even worse, because they are causing so much grief and misery.
I am one of the lucky ones..my home is paid for, but I did have the same sort of grief when buying my home many years ago… Housing loans interest rates were about 19% if I remember correctly….someone please correct me if the percentage was different…….I still remember the pain!
Today’s rises are meant to hurt…forget inflation, that is THEIR excuse but we know better.
All linked to bringing us down to 3rd world level.The fact that the government is pouring money into foreign countries and ignoring the problems here in Oz, shows where their loyalty lies.
@Tony Ryan. Thank You for the legal clarification from an Aboriginal Law perspective. Needs to be rigorously acted upon. Go for it!
The pretenders certainly deserve their impending comeuppance..or stringuppance. lol
marycw2 said – “… can you please punctuate headings?”
FWIW, that heading made perfect sense to me, albeit with some mental parsing to allow for the typical journalist shorthand, eg…
“AMBIGUOUS SACRED SITE CLAIM [is a] PRACTICE RUN FOR VOICE”
Legal clarification?
How about Aboriginal Law?
This is the prerogative only of qualified Law Men who are clearly recognised and titled accordingly under Aboriginal Law, and known to all qualified adults within each particular tribe; and by those qualified along the entire Songline. Only these individuals can identify sites of significance and also predicate any behaviour required therein.
To be a brown-skinned resident of NSW or Victoria is not a qualification in this regard and it is at least a century since the last qualified Songline Aborigine died. I would go further. There are no qualified Aboriginal Law Authorities outside of northern South Australia, the Kimberly region, and NT. If I am later corrected, I would more than welcome that.
As far as I know, there are also none in Queensland. This is a very specific qualification and one cannot be more or less a Law Man. It does not matter what a claimant says. It is what all the people of that Songline region say within the confines of a special conference/ceremony long ago established for that purpose. In Arnhem Land it is called ‘Ngarra’ and this is concurrent. Many major songlines cross the continent and one even stretches from PNG to WA. So, pretenders, be prepared for possibly lethal consequences of breaking that Law.
Ergo, nobody in NSW or Victoria is qualified to declare a ‘sacred site’ and the tribal people in the north need only glance at these absurd smoking ceremonies and even more ludicrous “welcome to country” parodies paraded on TV, to know nobody in these states is qualified. Nor does the equally idiotic title ‘auntie’ or ‘uncle’ denote any authority. There is something seriously wrong with these people. Possibly too much ABC or toxicity.
Thus, if a site is to be declared sacrosanct by a government, in a democracy, this can only be done as the outcome of statewide consensus. Any cultural pretenders should immediately be the target of class action litigation on the basis of fraud. Such legal action would require expert witnesses and I am currently advising qualified NT Law Men that this should prove to be a nice little earner for them. They have a love of easy money.
The way then should be clear for litigation class actions against any bureaucrats or politicians who were complicit in these frauds which, by the way, are impacting on thousands of incomes and homes.
If any campers or businesses are affected, let me know. I will establish a liaison entity for this purpose.
Not good….
BTW – can you please punctuate headings? eg This one makes more sense with semicolon: “AMBIGUOUS SACRED SITE CLAIM; PRACTICE RUN FOR VOICE” otherwise no matter how many times you read it – it makes no sense without punctuation…. Tks, Mary
Any land is sacred to those who want it for their own and exclusive use. That is why Bear Gully is sacred to the Indigenous Group which claims it .
An ever increasing amount of lands that Australians should be sharing is becoming a No Go Zone. This is one of the big features of UN Agenda 2021, Agenda 2030, 17 Sustainable Development Goals and UNDRIP.
Three comments which add nothing to the debate rather poor attempts at wit. Attempting to be funny. You have had your fun now get real.
This is a serious matter.
Born here is different to indigenous and different to descendants of indigenous.
Lets put the wit and comedy aside and think legally and in terms of a united Australia.
Firstly the communists are causing the problem and they have been chipping away at this for pretty much 100 years though they have now stepped up the ante.
Campsite closed over concerns?
Where is the evidence? Where is the marginal evidence? which led to the concerns and why be concerned now and no concern 10, 20, 30 years ago.
Are the aboriginals claiming the land? What do they have to say.
It seems, a certain Whitey has more concerns than the Abo.
This is being driven by elected politicians who are more interested in obeying orders so as to keep their generous salaries rather than standing for truth.
The whole thing is an attack on Whitey and Christianity and we know who the communists are, if you get my drift.
When we look across the Tasman we see the exact same goings on occurring there and let me add, it aint a coincidence. Very powerful forces are behind all this.
A good starting point is to consult Aboriginal Christian leaders some of whom do have good knowledge on these matters and do want a united, fair and just society.
Go to it.
Surely these Blackfellas must demonstrate the sacred ness of that site?
Anyone can say anything, but in a Court of Law that amounts to hearsay, unless empirical evidence can be produced.
And is this effort at closing the camp not discriminatory, as I am just as much a native of this country as any Blackfella.
After all, I was born 67 years ago, long time before many of the new Blackfellas were even a glint in their daddy’s eye.
Yes. My statement here could be (mis)construed as racist, but is actually a political statement, and the actions of Parks Victoria were political as well.
I think that the only ones offended might be the Blackfella bureaucrats, who get good sit-down money into the bargain.
And, i prejudicial, my statements may reflect what may become a divisive issue that results in mass resentment.
The country is here for all of us, not just some of us.
I wonder what the local Blackfellas are doing with it? Waiting for a developer to come along to build a boomerang factory?
Surely camping at the site was the native original use
