aloha,

under the register of aboriginal art search will find 154 photos, but only 5
of them are accessible trough the web - for the rest there are fees, or
whatever procedures falling into the category of "limited access". don't
want to question the policy of copyrights in this case. it is just such an
interesting example, how a photographer becomes an owner of a piece which
belongs to cultural heritage (australian?, national?) just to be propagated
later on trough the national archives.
long way to go.
