while the more depressed areas of the broad surrounding flats must haye teemed 
with aquatic bird life for the wet months of the year, Altogether the Belt site is 
a striking and interesting one, in spite of the likelihood that since aboriginal occu- 
pation, erosion and drift, aided by the presenec of stock and rabbits, have altered 
some of its features. 
Laks Faome (FR 1). This extensive camp site oceurs om a low portion of 
a much disintegrated dune ridge which is possibly a north-western extension of 
what we now term Canunda Ridge, It is situated near the north-western corner 
of the present Lake Frome depression at the junction of Sections 74, 91 and $2, 
Hundred Rivoli Bay, It lies between the Woakwine Range and the shore of 
Rivoli Bay, and a detailed description of assoriated features and vegetation is 
given in Part III. At present, the area, is highly eroded by wind action showing 
remnants of a pattly consolidated ridge continuation (Canunda Ridge) and no 
doubt the site is somewhat different now from what it was at the time of native 
occupation. (See Pl. vii, Fig. 2), It would appear to be rather a camp for swm- 
mer use, as the immediate surroundings to the north and east. must have heey ex- 
ceedingly wet, swampy and untraversable in the winter season. 
A useful and varied collection of implements was made here. Molluse rem- 
nants were fairly plentiful. 
Laxz Frome (Fx. 2). This area contains a series of eamp sites along the 
same ridge as Fr. 1, but two miles further te the south-east, It occurs in Section 
96, Hundred Rivoli Bay. The north-westerly end lies just north of the railway 
line whence the successive camp areas extend in a south-easterly direction along 
the western side of the Lake Frome depression. It seems unlikely that this camp 
region was more than a temporary summer time location, a8 the immediately adja- 
vent areas must have been heavily flooded in the wet season; and, apart from the 
tea-tree growth, the region affords little shelter, Implements were not plentiful, 
but a number of ponnding aud grinding-stones were collected. 
Carz Burron (Br,), This is a typical sea-cliff site situated on the headland 
at the south end of Rivoli Bay. It is on high ground facing the extreme south- 
ern corner of the Bay and sheltered from the prevailing winds hy sandhills on 
three sides. It is protected on the west by a sandhill, more or less covered and 
fixed by typical coastal vegetation; on the south by a low ridge somewhat hard- 
pias by a mixture of light brown loam ; and on its east side a large, drifting sand 
une. 
The main characteristic of this site is that it was probably 4 summer camp 
used when sea food was desired and obtainable, The wet season must have meant 
exceedingly bleak conditions and unfavourable to the collection of sea foods, A 
striking sight is the mass of shells of Turbo wndulatus scattered over the whole 
area: and in those places where 4 number of large conical hearths still persist, 
these shells are concentrated inta well-packed ‘‘middens,*’ A few other 
molluse shélis were represented, but sparsely so. The Yurbo remains pre- 
dominate so remarkably that even if their relative durability is taken into account, 
they were the main sea food consnmed, However, it is quite likely that other 
sea. foods were also used; for fiah, crayfish, crab, and the smaller gastropod rem- 
nauts would be more easily blown away than the large, heavier Turbo remains. 
A. small gap existing at the south-eastern end of the site could aet like a funnel 
and the wind blast blow the lighter fond debris down towards the sea. 
This site at the back of the stony headland and with adjacent. reefs exposed 
at low tide, appears to have been well-situated for the supply of all kinds of sea 
foods. Also, much of the country adjaceut to the coastal dunes is well-covered 
with native vegetation and examination revealed a number of examples of indi- 
genons food supplies, no doubt also available im aboriginal times (see Part II).
