Abstract
The High Court recently handed down a momentous decision for Indigenous Australians. The case, known as the Timber Creek Decision, concerned the award of compensation - both economic and non-economic - to the Ngaliwurru Nungali peoples of the Northern Territory for loss of their property rights in their traditional lands.
The case is the first of its kind to be successfully publicly litigated. In 2006 a claim by the traditional owners of Yulara,
near Uluru, was rejected by the Federal Court because the judge found that the claimants could not establish native title.
