PLEASE HELP US PROTECT ABORIGINAL WOMEN FERTILITY SITE FROM DESTRUCTION BY ROCLA SANDMINING COMPANY | Page 2

"My Tribal name is Goolabeen. I am a fully
Initiated
Law
and
Medicine
Woman
of
the
Alleyerwere Tribe of Utopia from the Central
Desert. But I am better and more widely known as
Auntie Beve, particularly in the Jails of NSW,
where I have just retired after 29 years working
with Aboriginal prisoners – being there for them
24/7 as an Elder, an Aboriginal Art and Culture
teacher, suicide Counsellor and Mental health
Worker.

As I was born here in Woy Woy 78 years ago,
I speak as an Elder of the Darkinoong Tribe from the
Central Coast of N.S.W. And today, I speak on behalf of all
Central Coast Aboriginal women with the support of the
Aboriginal men and of many non-Aboriginal people who know
of the importance of preserving the Sacred Aboriginal
Dreaming Track.
Bulldozing Our Ancient Culture
A New Zealand company ‘Rocla Sandmining’ is planning to build a
mine on an Aboriginal Women’s Fertility Rites Songline and Teaching
Place. This Songline is part of the Sacred Dreaming Track, and its
destruction would destroy with it tens of thousands of years of
Aboriginal heritage.
Her
Majesty’s
NSW
Government
has
approved the company
to
go
ahead
with
their
stage
4
extension,
which
comprises a massive
30 metre deep hole
gouged out of the
ground that will take our Sacred Sites out completely.

My mission is to make all Australians aware of how
significant this loss would be – to help them fully
understand the Cultural importance of this site, and why it
must not be destroyed by Rocla Sandmining Company or Her
Majesty’s Government of N.S.W.
