Vandals destroy 30 000 year old cave art of #Koonalda Cave, a sacred site of the Mirning, on Nullabor Plain in South #Australia.

The damage done to the art is irreversible. This follows the destruction of the 46 000 year old site at the #JuukanGorge by mining company Rio Tinto in 2020.

The destruction of ancient sites is but one of the many forms of #racism the indigenous Australians are subjected to.

I feel like crying.
