Push to identify and protect Aboriginal sites. During the 1980s, Indigenous people work to identify and struggle to protect significant Aboriginal sites across the Hunter, Lake Macquarie and Wollombi regions. This includes efforts by George Griffiths, Awabakal cultural officer, to protect sites in Wollombi and Singleton, Glen Yarnold with the Australian Institute of Aboriginal Studies at Devil’s Rock, an old burial ground once described by Threlkeld at Swansea Heads, and Bungurra.
