Holsworthy Site

The area known as the Holsworthy Army Base has been a restricted military zone since 1912 and sits on the land protected by the Tharawal Local Aboriginal Land Council. Due to the fact that all outsiders have been prohibited this land contains artwork, archaeological sites, scarred trees and artefacts. More than 500 Aboriginal sites exist within this restricted area. In 1998 this area was successfully claimed by the Dharawal people as a National Estate.

PLEASE NOTE

All the video recordings on this website were made at least a decade ago. Some are fifteen years old.

What the speakers say on camera was based on their own knowledge and researches at the time each video was made. Since then a great deal of information has come to hand which may make some of the information first recorded now outdated. Therefore please regard this website as a period piece presenting knowledge held and believed at the time of recording.
