Uluru / Ayers Rock Region - Northern Territory

The Anangu Aboriginal people are responsible for the protection and appropriate management of these ancestral lands, of which Uluru (Ayers Rock)

and Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) are an important part. The knowledge necessary to fulfil these responsibilities has been passed down from

generation to generation. During the 1870s, William Giles and William Gosse were the first white explorers to this region. Giles was the first

to reach Kata Tjuta and named it The Olgas after the then reigning Queen Olga of Wurttemburg. Gosse, however, was the first to reach Uluru

and named it Ayers Rock after his superior, Sir Henry Ayers, the Chief Secretary of South Australia. By the early 1970s, the pressure of tourism

was having detrimental effects on the environment and the government agreed in 1973 to relocate accommodation facilities to a new site. It was

not until 1979 that, in recognition of the existence of traditional Aboriginal owners of Uluru and Kata Tjuta, a national park was acknowledged.

In 1983 Prime Minister Hawke announced the government's intention to grant ownership of the land back to the traditional owners.

DARWIN'S PLANTATION

“Although racism did not begin with Darwinism, Darwin did more than any person to popularize it.” - from Darwin’s Plantation.

Discover the origin of people groups (there is only one race), the genetics of skin colour, and biblical truths on "interracial" marriage. This fascinating new book explores racism and its roots in the hearts and minds of millions. Most people do not realize how intimately connected the popular idea of evolution and the worst racist ideology in history are. Ken Ham and Dr. Charles Ware reveal the compelling history of the effect of an evolution-based belief system on the history of the United States, including slavery, the civil rights movement, and abortion. They go beyond politically-correct speech to show the tragic global harvest of death and tragedy which stems from Darwin’s controversial beliefs. A compassionate and uniquely convincing book!

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy

has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you,

who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time...

Though now you do not see Him*, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory,

receiving the end of your faith—the salvation of your souls."

( * Jesus ) Letter - 1st Peter ch.1 vs.3-9. The Holy Bible - New King James Version
