Walt and Matt. We have a similar but much smaller problem with our aborigines, it is smaller becaise the British nearly wiped them out in fact their are no more Tasmanian Abo's left old King Billy doied in the year i was born 1936 as did the last Thylosene (Tasmanian Tiger). The Abo's as they are affectionally known get really royal treatment and they get the idea that the y want to resume certain properties, like landmarks and liquor shops for themselves. But to me they don't have a leg to stand on as in their own culture they do not believe in owning land they believe that the land owns them. I am really sorry their are no more Tasmanian Tigers around they were a large striped carnivore that used to kill sheep hence their demise. Did you know their were a whole range of Marsupials (carry young in a pouch) that had equivalents among normal mammals. Lions, Mammoths, Hippo's etc. Only three native Australian animals are not marsupials, (this is why koalas are not bears) Platypus and Echidnas which are monotreens (egg laying mammals) and of course the Dingo, which we thought for decads was dog but its a derative of the Asian Wolf, only been here for 5,000 years so is it indigenous or not? many think not. Regards Ian
