Caring for country, the carrying out of traditional responsibility for the land, is a process of great importance for Aboriginal people. If the country is neglected it will become infertile and fail to provide sustenance; and the integrity of its spirit guardians and progenitors will no longer be maintained. Such truths are essential to the fabric of Aboriginal society. They form the basis for definition of Aboriginal traditional land ownership, conventionally understood by non-Aborigines to conform to recognised principles of inheritance, of which descent is perceived to be the most important. But adequately caring for country means being able to visit it and witness its presentation, living in close proximity to it where practical. This has not always been possible. Environmental, economic, political and social factors have, both before and since non-Aboriginal settlement, caused shifts in Aboriginal population and have forced people to adapt their systems of land inheritance accordingly.

The relationships pre-European Aboriginal people had with their landscape were complex. Nevertheless, the reconstructive ethnographic literature for southern South Australia has tended to regard Aboriginal geographic knowledge as having been the product of 'tribal' relations with a more or less constant area of terrestrial landscape. The erroneous belief in cultural homogeneity within the 'tribe', has led various researchers to look for 'true' expressions of a culture, such as portrayed by myth. Nevertheless, evidence provided by the early ethnographies indicates that there were wide ranging geographic views within cultural groups. Furthermore, the recorded mythology of many Aboriginal cultures illustrates perceived connections with distant landscapes. In this paper, I account for the diverse range of links to the landscape that Adelaide Aboriginal people possessed. This is a study in cultural geography, considering both material and nonmaterial aspects of Aboriginal cultural construction of the landscape.

The Aboriginal Embassy of 1972 established as a result of decade of debate within the Aboriginal community. Protests by the Embassy demonstrate the victory over government's inadequacy and placing land rights on the political agenda.
