1. Australia ICOMOS strongly encourages everyone to make a submission about the proposed Australian Heritage Strategy
As members will have seen in a recent issue of the e news, the Australian Government is seeking public submissions regarding the proposed Australian Heritage Strategy.
Australia ICOMOS will be making a submission, but individuals and other organisations are strongly encouraged to make submissions also.
While submissions can respond to the many questions posed in the public consultation paper, even short submissions highlighting key desired outcomes would be worthwhile. It would also be helpful if a copy of submissions can be emailed to the Australia ICOMOS Secretariat.
In addition, if members have brief suggestions they would like to make to contribute to the Australia ICOMOS submission, please email these to Duncan Marshall at by 25 May 2012.
The text of the recent e-news item is reproduced below.
Dr Jane Harrington
President
Have your say on Australia’s Heritage Strategy
The Australian Government is seeking public input to help develop a new strategy for the identification, management and celebration of Australia’s heritage.
The new strategy will cover natural, Indigenous and historic heritage and set the direction for heritage policies and programs at all levels of government for the next 10 years.
Public consultation is a critical step in the development of the strategy and comment is invited from the community about how we can best recognise, manage and celebrate our heritage.
The feedback received in response to the public consultation paper now available will help inform the development of the Australian Heritage Strategy.
For information on how to make a submission and to download the public consultation paper visit the Australian Heritage Strategy website.
Submissions will be accepted up until 15 June 2012.

Deakin University’s next Cultural Heritage seminar will be held on Wednesday 30 May, when Dr Helen Doyle will speak about the Heritage of Melbourne’s water supply.
Dr Doyle is a freelance historian with a strong interest in heritage and local history. Her doctoral thesis explored issues of historical identity and place-making in Victoria. Helen has been involved in a number of heritage studies in Melbourne and rural Victoria, and she has worked extensively on the history and heritage of Melbourne’s water supply. She was the co-author, with Professor Tony Dingle of Yan Yean: A history of Melbourne’s early water supply (2003).
The history of water supply is integral to the story of settlement in Victoria. During this seminar Dr Doyle will present a discussion about the heritage significance of some of the elements that make up Melbourne’s early water supply. She will consider the many important meanings we attach to water supply sites and discuss how these places can be accommodated within Victoria’s Framework for Historic Themes.
All welcome.

7. Vale Dr Alan Thorne
Well known Australian National University (ANU) Biological Anthropologist and long-time ANU staff member, Alan Thorne, died in Canberra this week.
Dr Thorne made a very significant contribution to Australian archaeology and debates surrounding human origins and is best known for his research on the Mungo Lake skeletons found in western New South Wales, as well as his theories on the regional development of early humans. The research on ‘Mungo man’ dated the skeleton to 40,000 years ago.
“He was the discoverer of perhaps the bulk of Australian human fossil materials,” his ANU research colleague Professor Groves said.
The death of Alan Thorne is a big loss for Australian archaeology. Our sincerest condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.
Thank you to the Australian Archaeological Association for passing this news on to Australia ICOMOS.

13. Media release from Hon Tony Burke MP and Hon Warren Snowdon MP
Australia ICOMOS is committed to the dissemination of relevant cultural heritage information. In line with this commitment we are circulating the following press release from Hon Tony Burke MP and Hon Warren Snowdon MP.
New Indigenous Protected Area in the Gulf of Carpentaria
The heart of Gulf of Carpentaria country will be protected for future generations with the declaration of the Yanyuwa Indigenous Protected Area (IPA).
Minister for Indigenous Health Warren Snowdon today joined hundreds of Yanyuwa traditional owners gathered at Borroloola on the MacArthur River to celebrate the declaration of their country as an Indigenous Protected Area.
Stretching across 130,000 hectares, from ancient land running alongside the magnificent McArthur River, the Yanyuwa Indigenous Protected Area takes in the Sir Edward Pellew Islands which are of world conservation significance and support a large number of nesting sites for green and flatback turtles and seabirds.
“Today is a celebration of the Yanyuwa people’s connection with country,” Mr Snowdon said.
“The Yanyuwa rangers, known as li-Anthawirriyarra or ‘people of the sea’, do invaluable work in looking after this spectacular country – bringing conservation benefits to all Australians, as well as significant spin-off benefits for the health and wellbeing of local Aboriginal communities.
“That’s why the Gillard Government is providing more than $2 million over two years to the Yanyuwa Indigenous Protected Area and li-Anthawirriyarra Working on Country rangers to support the work they do.
“Together Indigenous Protected Areas and Working on Country rangers form one of Australia’s most successful conservation stories, protecting biodiversity while providing training and employment for Aboriginal people doing work that they love on their own country,” Mr Snowdon said.
Environment Minister Tony Burke sent his congratulations to the Yanyuwa people, thanking them for their commitment to managing their natural and cultural heritage.
“The Yanyuwa rangers are doing vital work to protect culturally important dugong and green turtles, monitoring marine mammal populations and protecting the seagrass beds by removing debris like ghost nets, ” Mr Burke said.
“They are actively managing feral cats and pigs on the islands of this IPA, where a wide range of habitats provide important refuges for native mammals threatened on the mainland.
“On the mainland, they are actively managing weeds and feral animals, protecting the McArthur River and the waterholes which give life to a variety of fish, and to bush medicine and food plants that local communities continue to use today. “Like all Indigenous Protected Areas, Yanyuwa is now part of our National Reserve System – our nation’s most secure way of protecting native habitat for future generations.”

40th anniversary of the World Heritage Convention (1972-2012)
The invention of the “Outstanding Universal Value (OUV)”
Université de Bourgogne, Dijon, France
14-16 November 2012
Deadline for Abstracts postponed until 10 June 2012
The University of Burgundy’s CIMEOS Laboratory, Georges Chevrier Centre and Maison des Sciences de l’Homme are organizing a two-day conference in November 2012 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the World Heritage Convention of UNESCO.
Inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List has become very fashionable nowadays with States wanting to identify, preserve and emphasise the value of cultural andor natural sites, and public demand for inclusion is on the increase. Recent developments have raised questions about the emergence of the concept of “Outstanding Universal Value”. When did this concept appear, what is its history, its possible difficulties and pitfalls?
Applying a critical and multidisciplinary perspective, the conference will use a range of approaches in order to understand the notion of universal heritage.
For information on submitting contributions and registering, visit the seminar website.
Submissions will be selected by an International Scientific Committee (peer review).

18. New title – Asian Heritage Management
Asian Heritage Management explores the nature and complexity of managing the cultural heritage in Asia. It analyses the intangible heritage dimensions, religious worldviews, traditional preservation practices, and the notion of cultural landscape that are crucial in understanding the cultural heritage in Asia. Critiquing the contemporary regulatory frameworks in operation and focusing on the issues of global impact on the local cultures in the region, it emphasises the need for integrated heritage management approaches that encompass the plurality of heritage conservation concerns in Asian countries.Themes are discussed from the vantage point of heritage scholars and practitioners in the South, Southeast, and East Asia. This book thus presents a distinctive Asian perspective which will be a valuable source for students and practitioners of heritage within and beyond the Asian context.
This title will not be published until January 2013, but will most likely be available for purchase from the Routledge website.
