Applied archaeology Cultural testing gives all-clear to car race

An archaeologist's report has given the go-ahead for a car race around Lake Buloke in south-west Victoria.

The Buloke Shire spent $2,000 testing the cultural value of Aboriginal sites around the lake, ahead of the first planned off-road race next month.

Mayor Reid Mather says some modifications will be made to the circuit to avoid sensitive sites.

"There are some areas that are culturally sensitive around Lake Buloke, but if it's a problem we just don't race in that area, we go round that area and that what it's highlighting [is] that we're not going to hurt those areas of cultural significance," he said.


That's the whole thing.
