Eighty five important cultural objects are now back in Australia thanks to the AIATSIS Return of Cultural Heritage pilot project.

Exclusive rights have been given to the Gangalidda and Garawa people in the state's northwest. The announcement was made at a formal ceremony in the gulf yesterday. NB - This is VERY SHORT ARTICLE and this paragraph is almost the entire thing.

People with interests in a far north-west Queensland area where the Gangalidda and Garawa peoples have a native title claim may be able to join in talks about how their rights will co-exist.

At a Federal Court hearing in Burketown, Justice Jeffrey Spender made two consent determinations* over parts of the Gangalidda and Garawa Peoples’ two native title claims, recognising their exclusive native title rights over 1,860sq km of an Aboriginal Land Trust area and their non-exclusive rights over 3,950sq km of predominantly pastoral leases.
