An Indigenous man has lost a legal challenge to stop Mungo Man and Mungo Lady's ancient remains being reburied in unmarked graves, with a court ruling adequate consideration was given to whether it defied Aboriginal tradition.
The plan for the 42,000-year-old remains was set in 2022 after the federal government approved a NSW Heritage and Willandra Lakes Region Aboriginal Advisory Group proposal to intern 108 ancestral remains in 26 unmarked graves.
