VICNET

page is designed to be a starting point for links to Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander Information in Victoria and Australia and to act as a
platform for the local Victorian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
community to publish their own information on the Internet. VICNET is
keen to work with any interested groups in training local communities in
using the Internet and creating web pages, in publishing their information
on the Internet and in working with them on building online communities
and tackling issues such as access and equity across Victoria. (Excerpted
from their introduction)
