Property handed back to traditional owners

Heritage-listed, 120-hectare (296 acres) private property handed back to traditional owners. The Walbunja people of the New South Wales far south coast have been handed back an important piece of their culture, once owned by the late environmental activist, academic and philosopher Val Plumwood.

This is lovely. If anyone, like me, was wondering about the use of the term "songline" in the article, Wikipedia has a fascinating explanation.

This is a wonderful story, and I appreciate the chance to learn more about Val Plumwood -- a fierce philosopher I've enjoyed reading, but didn't know anything about. Thanks so much.
