Native title granted for two thirds of Eyre Peninsula

Well said Michael! It will put some control on mine development about to rapidly expand and stuff the place.

From what happens in WA I do not think Native title has any effect on mining exploration , more on who gets the royalties.

Honky------------your on the money that reply.

Tazbaz! I think you missed my point! Michael

Our family used to live at Peats Ferry on the Hawkesbury River. We were the original owners of the ferry service that formed part of the highway north from Sydney. There is even a monument to our mob so one would say that my clan were of significant historical importance.

It is right where that big bridge crosses the river.

I wonder how much luck we would have!! Just imagine how the Community Funds would be assisted with the tolls! The Government would save by not having to pay my pension.

Peats Ferry history

Tongue in cheek everyone. Well it is Friday isn't it.

taz baz yours is the kind of il informed and basically unthought comemts i find myself having to debunk all to often
stiuff the EP?
the vast majorty of the EP has been clearfelled and bulldozed and fenced off - how exactly could it get more stuuffed? the result is rising saline water stuffing even more land and resulting the todd resivour dam on the penninsula supplying scheme water becoming posoned by salt and unusable
no one ever complains about agricultuture because minings bad mmkay?

Get outmode - its people like you the reason that in Australia we have an Australian Labor Party

Hi

No expert but 99.9% sure freehold land is typically not "claimable". Also keep in mind aboriginal people (including those not necessarily involved in the "claim") may also own freehold land in the area in question.

I think I understand where you are coming from Greg. Yes, I should have been more explicit regarding the aboriginal people that may have settled in that area but not of the family groups involved. I do understand that not being from a particular family group either by blood or marriage precludes them to much the same degree as any non aboriginal. This is how it works for Arnhem Land so I am assuming this principle holds true elsewhere, hence the ongoing issues with the Port Augusta area being subject to a counter claim by another family group.
If you have read the article referred to in the link provided by the OP, fine, but if you have not, may I politely suggest you have a read of the paragraphs following the heading "Judgement could set precedent for claims in SA, interstate". The comments are attributed to solicitor Philip Teitzel.

Oh well - we may all start having to pay rent (if you aren't already) :)

Cheers

Today's government is the "pits". Our business deals with SA Government. We make good money at the Tax Payer's expense.
If the general public only knew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! of the waste!!!!!!!!!!

And the immediate problem for all is keeping this post on topic. This is a 4x4, travel and camping website. As such the rules ask you to keep it relevant to the core topics of the site. EO is not a site for any political rant or discussion about government/opposition policies.

Yeow, where are Land Rights going? The effect is to stop most citizens of Australia from travelling in their own country.

And most indigenous people live out of their homelands as life in the towns and communities is less arduous.

Yet those wonderful bush Aboriginals...what can one say?

No different to driving on large parcels of land owned by people. You cannot enter this land without permission.

But Fab we can't let the facts get in the way of a good story.

Why would you read the whole story ? If you did you would have nothing to off about, I guess that's how forum roll though. Lol

Exactly Steve. :)

And did you also explain that you have to get permission to go across privately owned land - no difference.

And gary a permit is easy to get for a small fee. Almost no difference to tolls paid on roads an bridges.

Did not need to explain private land trespassing to her
By the way there is no cost for the permits . They arrive online & you just print out & put in vehicle.

If you didn't need to explain private land trespassing to her, why did she ask the question ? because without the permit you are trespassing on private land.
Just sayin.
