       Hi Doug,

    "Aborigines don't own the land.They belong to it. It's like their
mother. See those rocks? Been standing there for 600 million years. Still be
there when you and I are gone. So arguing over who owns them is like two
fleas arguing over who owns the dog they live on."

    Well now, Mick Dundee couldn't have said it better.

    Best wishes,
                          Greg Lindh

>Jan - As you say (most of us including you could) think before we post,
>too, though I don't object to your post either. The very few prior

>you said anything throughout the barrage of bashing of people, corruption

>in the wonderful area, he probably has seen enough in his life to give a

>Bob W. - David off the list? Eighty-six that possee!
