Before the project began, Traditional Owners swept the
site for artefacts. North Queensland Cultural Heritage
conducted an assessment of the Gully 1 site and another
Glen Bowen site earmarked for a future project.
Archeologist Michele Bird, of North Queensland Cultural
Heritage Pty Ltd, with Birriah Cultural Officers Algon
and Paul Walsh walked the site searching for possible
artefacts.
They found 16 stone artefacts including some tools.
Algon Walsh gifted the artefacts to Mr Cormack on
the understanding he would keep them safe while
construction was underway and return them to country
when the project was complete.
