The TV coverage of our recent work with the Murujuga Aboriginal Corporation. I'm really happy with it, although it does incorrectly state that I led the research since 2019, when it was @Jon_Benjamin and the DHSC team (deephistoryofseacountry.com) youtu.be/Ags54zpnG6A?...

Their Old People sang of a place lost beneath the waves. Now it’s found. Another fantastic achievement of the Murujuga Aboriginal Corporation collaborating with our Deep History of Sea Country project. Congratulations @johnkmccarthy.bsky.social for leading this. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07...
