Re: Aboriginal, Significant Object

March 2006 the area now known as KINGS DOMAIN in the City of Melbourne, the land "the site" being of special observances, customs, and beliefs of the Aboriginal People, significant area of traditions, customs and spiritual beliefs of the Boonwurrung People. (Kulin nation)

March 2006 the site underwent a healing and cleansing ritual in observances, to customs, and religious beliefs of the Boonwurrung People. Significant to traditions and their beliefs a spiritual object "clan fire" had been rekindled.

Traditional Lore, maintains that the clan fire must not be allowed to be extinguish, if the Totem fire is extinguish, punishment is imposed on the keeper of the fire, and the tribal clan will suffer unforeseen hardship.

"The fire" an object of significant Spiritual importance to the Aboriginal Race of Victoria.

It is most important that any Government, party, body, or agents refrain from removing any aboriginal significant objects from Crown Lands in the state of Victoria. Being subject to the "Aboriginal And Torres Strait Islander Heritage Protection Act 1984.
