People in the Landscape

Dr Duane Hamacher in the Royal national park, Bundeena, Sydney. Hamacher is looking to the heavens to unlock secrets about Australia’s ancient past. His Indigenous astronomy group works with Aboriginal Australians from different language groups to compile legends thought to document cosmic events and natural disasters, such as meteorite strikes, floods and volcanic eruptions. Hamacher, who compares these legends with the geological record, has linked one, describing a vengeful fire-devil from the sky, to a meteorite impact in the central desert about 4,700 years ago.
