Hi again, today wer'e putting some of our pics in the blog, enjoy.

In October 1974 a number of Luritja families, whose traditional land lies north-east of Uluru, formed the Luritja Land Association to press their claims for their country. They were particularly interseted in land covered by two pastoral leases: Tempe Downs and Middleton ponds.

Kunmanara Breadon first asked the Department of Aboriginal Affairs to buy Tempe Downs for the Luritja in 1973 and in the years that followed approaches were made to five different ministers for Aboriginal Affairs. In the mid-70s Mr Breadon's family and another group led by Sid Coulthard moved onto Tempe Downs and Middleton Ponds without title despite the opposition and intimidation of pastoralists and managers.
