The other is that in densely settled regions,\nthe physical evidence does tend to disappear (where I live in Brisbane,\nthere is argument about the number of Aboriginal groups who lived in the\narea and what languages they spoke, while all their places such as bora\nrings have been largely built over).  The other twinning is the \"back of\nbeyond\" (where evidence might persist) versus settled farmlands.  It is\npretty obvious that few colonists visit the wilds.\n\n\n\n\nDavid Duffy"
