Aborigines to push for more land handovers

Tasmanian Aborigines say they will continue to press for more land to be returned to the Indigenous community.

Community members yesterday travelled to Risdon Cove, in the south of the state, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Groom government's land transfers.

The state secretary of the Aboriginal Centre, Trudy Maluga, says there are still plenty of sites Aborigines would like to have returned.

She says those sites include Parks and Wildlife-controlled areas such as Mount William.

"There's a place at Sundown Point that we'd really like to have back," she said.

"Also Eddystone Point ... we would be looking forward to the day when we receive that title."

Earlier this year, the Lennon Government returned Cape Barren Island and Clarke Island to the community.
