Permanently occupied stone houses and buildings on an island off the WA coast? Really?
Mr Pascoe claims this photograph is of an Aboriginal ‘Dome’ house that his great, great grandfather may have used while living at Lockhart River in Queensland. Actually, we find that it is a ‘Dome’ house constructed by the Meriam people from the Torres Strait Islands and shows Melanesian and Polynesian influences. It is not Australian Aboriginal at all, and is not from the Australian mainland.
“Sophisticated Aboriginal houses” are actually Torres Strait Huts with Melanesian and Polynesian influences
