You could look at first Government House Sydney. That was discovered during
an urban development and is now part of the floor of a building. There is
nothing from WA. We have had two urban renewal projects and a tunnel which
have basically ignored archaeology. A third is just about to do the same.

I would like to see your paper when you have finished. We have changed
governments and the new government is reviewing the heritage law. It's the
right time to put any good ideas to them.
