4K Uluru / Ayers Rock, AUSTRALIA Part 1 オーストラリア 澳大利亚
Uluru is sacred to the Pitjantjatjara Anangu, the Aboriginal people of the area. The area around the formation is home to an abundance of springs, waterholes, rock caves and ancient paintings. Uluru is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Uluru is notable for appearing to change colour at different times of the day and year.
The Uluru is located in Uluṟu Kata Tjuṯa National Park, near the town of Yulara, about 340 km as the crow flies southwest of Alice Springs in the southwest of the Australian Federal Territory Northern Territory. The 1325 km ² large national park, in which beside the Uluru also the neighboring Kata Tjuṯa (the Olgas) are, belongs to the UNESCO world nature and cultural heritage.
Because of his spiritual relevance to the Dreamtime narratives, he is considered the sacred mountain of the local Aborigines, the Anangu. As one of Australia's most famous landmarks, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors each year, there is a conflict of interests between Anangu and tourists, where the Aborigines have last imposed a ban on climbing the mountain from the end of October 2019.

The Blue Mountains is a mountainous region in New South Wales, Australia. It borders on Sydney's metropolitan area, its foothills starting about 50 kilometres (31 mi) west of the state capital.[2] The public's understanding of the extent of the Blue Mountains is varied, as it forms only part of an extensive mountainous area associated with the Great Dividing Range. Officially the Blue Mountains is bounded by the Nepean and Hawkesbury Rivers in the east, the Coxs River and Lake Burragorang to the west and south, and the Wolgan and Colo Rivers to the north.[3] Geologically, it is situated in the central parts of the Sydney Basin.[4]
The Blue Mountains are a dissected plateau carved in sandstone bedrock. They are now a series of ridge lines separated by gorges up to 760 metres (2,490 ft) deep. The highest point in the Blue Mountains, as it is now defined, is an unnamed point with an elevation of 1,189 m (3,901 ft) seven kilometres north-east of Lithgow. However, the highest point in the broader region once considered to be the Blue Mountains is Mount Bindo, elevation 1,362 m (4,469 ft).[5] A large part of the Blue Mountains is incorporated into the Greater Blue Mountains Area World Heritage Site, consisting of seven national park areas and a conservation reserve.[6]
The Blue Mountains area includes the local government areas of the City of Blue Mountains, the City of Hawkesbury, the City of Lithgow and Oberon Shire.
History
Aboriginal inhabitants
When Europeans arrived in Australia, the Blue Mountains had already been inhabited for several millennia by the Gundungurra people, now represented by the Gundungurra Tribal Council Aboriginal Corporation based in Katoomba, and, in the lower Blue Mountains, by the Darug people, now represented by the Darug Tribal Aboriginal Corporation.[7][8]
The Gundungurra creation story of the Blue Mountains tells that Dreamtime creatures Mirigan and Garangatch, half fish and half reptile, fought an epic battle which scarred the landscape into the Jamison Valley.
The Gundungurra Tribal Council is a not-for-profit organisation representing the Gundungurra traditional owners, promoting heritage and culture and providing a support for Gundungurra people connecting back to Country.
Gundungurra Tribal Council Aboriginal Corporation has a registered Native Title Claim since 1995 over their traditional lands, which include the Blue Mountains and surrounding areas.
Examples of Aboriginal habitation can be found in many places. In the Red Hands Cave, a rock shelter near Glenbrook, the walls contain hand stencils from adults and children.[9] On the southern side of Queen Elizabeth Drive, at Wentworth Falls, a rocky knoll has a large number of grinding grooves created by rubbing stone implements on the rock to shape and sharpen them. There are also carved images of animal tracks and an occupation cave. The site is known as Kings Tableland Aboriginal Site and dates back 22,000 years.[citation needed]
European history
Arthur Phillip, the first governor of New South Wales, first glimpsed the extent of the Blue Mountains from a ridge at the site of today's Oakhill College, Castle Hill. He named them the Carmarthen Hills, 'some forty to sixty miles distant... and he reckoned that the ground was most suitable for government stock. This is the location where Gidley King in 1799 established a prison town for political prisoners from Ireland and Scotland.

AUSTRALIA: SYDNEY OLYMPICS: ABORIGINES
English/Nat
XFA
Aboriginal leaders have gathered in Sydney - at the site of the first European settlement in a fresh attempt to offer reconciliation talks with Australia's political establishment.
The Aborigines claim a new spirit of unity, inspired by the Sydney Olympic Games, needs to be translated into a formal treaty of reconciliation.
Australia has been criticised internationally for failing to make political peace with its indigenous groups - recently attracting United Nations condemnation for its policies towards the Aboriginal people.
The Sea of Hands has become the symbol of the people's movement for reconciliation in Australia.
Since 1997, more than 250-thousand people have signed up to change.
Colours in the Sea of Hands represent Aboriginal heritage - the sea, land and food - while the black hands in the landscape stand for the indigenous people.
A Sea of Hands has been installed in every major city and provincial town across the country.
VOXPOP:
We should treat everybody equally and the way we treat indigenous people is important and that everybody gets a fair go.
The formal reconciliation process of the past decade has won significant public support.
But now, the Aboriginal community wants to translate the unity inspired by the Sydney Olympics to a formal treaty of reconciliation.
SOUNDBITE:
There's never been a formal agreement, there's never been one between Aboriginal and non-indigenous Australian. So here is a case we want to try and bring about and I think it's in everyone's minds that this should happen.
SUPER CAPTION: Mandaway Yunupingu, lead singer Yothu Yindi, slated to perform at the closing ceremony
Whilst there is growing support in Australia to reach agreement with the indigenous people, the issue of land rights is one of the main stumbling blocks for the government.
SOUNDBITE:
The international standards are being violated, Australia has now turned its back and in fact is the black sheep of the United Nations at this particular time because of those violations.
SUPER CAPTION: Geoff Clark, Chairman, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission
But whilst the Sea of Hands may grow larger, the Aborigines are still a long way from gaining the government handshake which would seal a reconciliation pact.
The government, for its part, seems in no rush to begin formal talks.

Alice Springs Info:
Alice Springs is the third-largest town in the Northern Territory of Australia. Popularly known as the Alice or simply Alice, Alice Springs is situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre.
The area is known as Mparntwe to its original inhabitants, the Arrernte, who have lived in the Central Australian desert in and around what is now Alice Springs for tens of thousands of years. The name Alice Springs was given by surveyor William Whitfield Mills after Alice, Lady Todd, wife of the telegraph pioneer Sir Charles Todd.
Alice Springs had an urban population of almost 24,000 at the 2016 Census; it accounts for approximately 10% of the population of the Northern Territory. It is nearly equidistant from Adelaide and Darwin.
The town straddles the usually dry Todd River on the northern side of the MacDonnell Ranges. The surrounding region is known as Central Australia, or the Red Centre, an arid environment consisting of several different deserts. Temperatures in Alice Springs can vary dramatically, with an average maximum in summer of 35.6 °C (96.1 °F) and an average minimum in winter of 5.1 °C (41.2 °F).

Rainforest fruit genetics confirm ancient Aboriginal pathways
Research from The Royal Botanic Garden Sydney’s Evolutionary Ecology team combines cultural and scientific knowledge to reveal plant stories from the past. Genetic studies of Castanospermum australe (the black bean) discovered that its unexpected distribution pattern in NSW is the result of humans deliberately dispersing this tree to new places.
