The loss of Aboriginal siginficant and sacred sites across the continent has prompted calls for stronger cultural heritage protections and a national standard to keep the locations preserved. In regional Victoria, the Eastern Maar and Djab Wurrung people have been devastated over harm to a 1500 year-old stone arrangement at Lake Bolac over Easter. In South Australia, mining activities have threatened Lake Torres, another well known culturally significant Aboriginal site. Keith Thomas from the South Australian Native Title Services recently told NITV News that a national approach would give proper recogntiion to Traditional Owners "There should be greater recognition of Aboriginal culture through all of Australia," said Mr Thomas.
