Jordan River Levee bank near Brighton, Tassie. Site of continual human occupation for 40 millennia. This earth here contains a unique, undisturbed archaeological record trapped between layers of silt from the repeated flooding of the river. In one meter of soil the record (mainly stone artefacts) goes back from 200 years to 20,000 to 40,000 years, encompassing two ice ages. This is the site of a proposed major highway designed to relieve traffic congestion in Pontville and Brighton. No wonder people say Australia is a young country.
