​A heritage and history collective dedicated to investigating Australia’s links to the outside world in the days prior to European expansion in the East Indies and New Holland. ​
​We are building a contextual heritage matrix - within which to articulate otherwise isolated and anomalous artefacts so as to illuminate the underlying tapestry of Northern Australia's early culture contact, travel and trade. 

It is our hope that Arnhem Land will itself come to be recognised within the older and wider context of international visitation and that our work will enable its extraordinary heritage assets to develop, as an ever-increasing resource for the social and economic well being of Arnhemlanders.
