PLEASE HELP US PROTECT ABORIGINAL WOMEN FERTILITY SITE FROM DESTRUCTION BY ROCLA SANDMINING COMPANY | Page 4

This diversity is part of what Rocla Sand mines want to
destroy – part of our Dreaming track, an important Songline – the Women's Fertility Rites Teaching Place.
This Dreaming Track goes right around
Australia through every tribal country, and
is a common space which all can use to
walk, hunt and gather, visit relatives,
attend important meetings and participate
in special Sacred Ceremonies.
It has very great significance in telling
our History, how we lived here as Hunters
and Gatherers, as custodians of the land, how we evolved,
and what roles we played in life.
The Dreaming Track must never be broken. Its ancient
history cannot be lost. It is our Mitchell Library. And
like yours, it must be saved for posterity. Lose it and it
is gone forever. And that would be a shameful blight on the
history of this land.

Stop, Look and Listen well…
The Women’s Fertility Rites Songline and Teaching Place is
complex and includes many ceremonial aspects that Her
Majesty’s NSW Government and Rocla Mining Company have
failed to acknowledge.
Aboriginal history is drawn on the
rock platforms, painted in the
caves and told by the stone
arrangements we left in this area
– and all over Australia – to tell
our stories. We also told and sung
our stories orally. Called Songlines, these were learnt by the
boys and the girls as they grew up
and were old enough to go through
ceremony.
