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.
