And what seems a paradox, Indigenous students not wanting to be distracted by a European interpretation of how their culture should be linked to the school curriculum, but wanting to do scientific courses like everyone else.

Billy, familiar?

What about some of the things that you've looked at before, like the astounding discoveries at Lake Mungo, of Mungo man and Mungo woman?

I must say that I have been slightly reserved myself about the reburial and thinking, okay, if you've got the actual material, you can make moulds of the skeletons and so on, and there are compromises you can make there.

and there are UNESCO advice to museums about this restoration and the loss of material.

What stage has that reached?

Not 4,000, as they told me when I first arrived in Australia for human health occupation.

And so it went.
