Rare Aboriginal Rock Art Under Threat

On Thursday, 30 November 2012, the 7.30 show on ABC featured a piece about threats to Aboriginal rock art, especially in the Sydney region.  With damage by developers and tourists, Aboriginal sites are being damaged and destroyed at a crippling rate.  The following clip features Duane Hamacher of the Aboriginal Astronomy Project at UNSW showing damage that has recently been done to rock art in Kuringai Chase National Park, home of the famous Emu in the Sky engraving.
