Abstract
The Simpson Desert is the homeland of many Aboriginal Peoples and, despite
varying degrees of displacement following European settlement, many of these
people today maintain the rights and duties that constitute Traditional Ownership
of their homelands. The Simpson Desert was known and navigated to an extent
that early European settlers found difficult to comprehend. Trade routes connected
the desert with its surrounding regions and a network of soaks, rockholes and wells
enabled people to live there.
