As it seems the Internet is not really within the confines of the culture, and nor should it have to be in order to make their voices heard, and their culture and traditions known to the "white world" or the digital network. I think it's also up to travelers and neighbors to reach out and let their communities know about Aboriginals and not give them the wrong impression. I saw this video about Mumbulla, which is not about the people, but about the lush scenery and wildlife.
