'The awards are highly regarded in the industry and by entering you have the opportunity for peer and public recognition of your work. This is your chance to be judged for the work you are proud of. The awards are presented over a luncheon ceremony which is the signature event of the Australian Heritage Festival. Last year this was attended by 400 guests, including heritage icons such as Jack Mundey.
'Entrants for the awards include councils, community groups, corporations and individuals. The entries include everything from education and research, to restoration of objects, re-vitalisation, architectural re-invigoration, documentaries, regeneration of the environment and hard working advocacy campaigners.'

The booklets in this series were produced by the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC). Each booklet describes 'the cultural attachment Aboriginal women have to their local landscape' and in total the booklets record 'the personal stories of 53 Aboriginal women from six NSW regional centres.'
