Indigenous Land Use Agreements being offered -

Contact: Elder John Dalungdalee Jones at:
Care of 37 York Parade, Spring Hill, Brisbane 4001, Ph 0403 850 824

We the Dalungbara Aboriginal People, being the owners of large tracts of property between Noosa
and Rainbow Beach, plus the southern 'third portion' of Fraser Island (K'Guri), are offering
Indigenous Land Use Agreements to horse riding organisations/clubs and other similar
organisations who wish to horse ride/traverse or camp on our property.
Large sections of our property include areas managed as national parks and 'state' forests.
Inquiries can be forwarded directly to me, Elder Jones, at Brisbane by phone or post,
or by emailing Lyall-Lindsay: Sempf© at lsempf@bigpond.net.au
A very reasonable fee is required when entering into an Indigenous Land Use Agreement.
Indigenous Land Use Agreements are pursuant to Section 24 of the Native Tite Act 1993.
Payments are to 'The Aboriginal University of Australia, Dalungdalee Trust'.
After payment is received, a receipt will be posted, with a copy of the registered Agreement mailed
soon after.

Our property includes all areas which are not titled as free hold, within the red section of the map below.

Please note that areas managed as national parks and 'state' forests were once considered being
owned by the government, or once considered as public lands, prior the High Court case of
MABO AND OTHERS v. QUEENSLAND (No. 2) (1992) 175 CLR 1 F.C. 92/014
(Aborigines - Constitutional Law - Real Property) where the High Court overturned the notion
that Australia was uninhabited ("Terra nullius").
Justice Brennan stated in clause 63 of this case:
"The common law of this country would perpetuate injustice if it were to continue to embrace
the enlarged notion of terra nullius and to persist in characterizing the indigenous inhabitants
of the Australian colonies as people too low in the scale of social organization to be acknowledged
as possessing rights and interests in land. Moreover, to reject the theory that the Crown acquired
absolute beneficial ownership of land is to bring the law into conformity with Australian history."
Our property is only managed as national park and 'state' forest', it is owned by us.

I also draw your attention to the fact that the Queensland Government acknowledged that Possessory
and Aboriginal titles (similar to Native title) were never extinguished when replying (through the
Commonwealth government) to the UNESCO World Heritage Convention. UNESCO had inquired
about property titles after the Commonwealth government applied to have Fraser Island listed as
World Heritage.
The document "COMMISSION OF INQUIRY INTO THE CONSERVATION, MANAGEMENT
AND USE OF FRASER ISLAND AND THE GREAT SANDY REGION - SUPPLEMENTARY
VOLUME Volume 1: Part 1- May 1991", produced by the Queensland government, also refers to the
Great Sandy Region, which includes much of the mainland section of our property.
Please note that this document is part of an international contract between the Commonwealth of
Australia and UNESCO.
