The Arabunna people are to be proclaimed as the traditional owners of a huge portion of land in South Australia’s North next Tuesday. The land includes the world’s largest salt lake, Lake Eyre and comprises almost one fifth of South Australia’s land mass.

Stephen Kenny, the lawyer for the Arabunna explained that as native title holders, the Arabunna will have rights to access, to hunt and to gather on the land. At the time of the interview there was an injunction being held in Federal Court to halt the transfer of native title which, was subsequently revoked this afternoon.
