Over twelve days, the team walked the rugged hills, gullies and rocky plains of this Country to identify and document cultural heritage material and help safeguard it for future generations.
The survey area covered more than 11 square kilometres. Each transect was over two kilometres long one way, and the ground was far from flat. Transects ran up and down slopes and through creek lines big and small, with large chunks of quartz underfoot.
By the end of the first day the team had blisters, scrapes and bruises from boots, scrub and missteps, but carried on, transect after transect and day after day, until the job was done.
Over several days, artefacts were recorded, sites were mapped and features were noted.
By the end of the survey the team had walked more than 150 kilometres and had come through a storm along the way. Knowing that Country was being looked after gave everyone a sense of accomplishment, and consultants, archaeologists and proponents finished the survey with a strong sense of camaraderie.
