What is historic heritage?
Historic heritage is important because it gives us a record of how people have lived and what the land has been used for in the past.
Historic sites are places that protect buildings, objects, monuments, landscapes, locations or events of national significance, or places of special significance in the history of the state.
What are Aboriginal sites?
Aboriginal people are the cultural owners and managers of their sites and cultural knowledge and they have been living as part of the natural landscape of Australia for thousands of years.
The land and waterways are very important in Aboriginal culture with ceremonial and spiritual significance as well as being a source of food and medicine.
Aboriginal people have an in-depth knowledge of their local flora and fauna species that has been built up over thousands of years. The land and waterways are associated with Dreamings and cultural learning that is still passed on today.
Examples of Aboriginal sites are shell middens, rock art, axe-grinding grooves, shelter sites, scarred trees, rock engravings and stone tools.
Create a poster that can be displayed at a National Park to discourage visitors from one of the following behaviours that can cause disruption to the natural environment:
litter
broken branches
trampled vegetation
graffiti
feeding native animals.
