Abstract

Melbourne—In April 1994, engineers drained the waters of Lake Victoria in New South Wales (NSW) to carry out repairs to a sliding gate that regulates its path to the Murray River. They hoped to refill the lake quickly, but the receding water exposed what appeared to be an ancient burial site extending through a line of sandy islands. A team of archaeologists and Aborigines went to examine the site and rebury the skeletons in accordance with Aboriginal beliefs, but nobody was prepared for the magnitude of the job.
