Glenelg Libraries congratulates the Gunditjmara people and Gib Wettenhall for being awarded as the Overall Winner for the 2011 Victorian Community History Awards.A Book which brings to life the amazing, unknown history of their traditional eel aquaculture systems and associated stone house settlements, once scattered throughout the lakes, streams and ponds that pockmark the Mt Eccles lava flow from peak to sea.
The people of Budj Bim (Mt Eccles) are characterised in the sub-title as ‘engineers of aquaculture, builders of stone house settlements and warriors defending country’. This wonderful exposition about the Gunditjmara people and their country around Budj Bim and Tae Rak (Lake Condah) is well-researched, clearly presented and shows a profound knowledge and understanding of the natural, cultural and historical elements that made the landscape and its people in their many manifestations through to present times. This publication is a superb community history.
Sick of our letters??? Now you can make the change!!!
