Mabo - The Native Title Revolution

of Australia Media Peace Award for 'Best Online'.

Mabo - The Native Title Revolution is encyclopedic - it explores every aspect of the Native Title story from a small island in the Torres Strait to the High Court of Australia. Eddie Koiki Mabo dies 6 months before his victory - a victory short lived as we see our indigenous people cheated yet again. It features hundreds of Flash multimedia presentations and a thousand resources from love letters to recordings of Eddie Mabo's lectures at James Cook University.

Deadly Bay: Open For Work

Deadly Bay is an educational CD-ROM for young indigenous people entering the work force produced with NSW TAFE and the Aboriginal Programs Unit of the Sydney University of Technology for ANTA (the Australian National Training Authority).

The program provides interactive language, literacy and numeracy activities set in an on-the-job scenario in the seafood, hospitality, horticulture, tourism and community recreation industries.

Feedback has been very positive and the 'Fat Boy Slim Dusty' soundtrack of 'programmed' country and western seems to be very popular with the kids.
