Option 1

Prehistory of Australia

There doesn't seem to be a lot of in-text citations, but they could also be getting a lot of information from one source. I do not think there is enough information on Aboriginal people and culture. Even though the tone is supposed to be neutral, there tone in this section feels like what an anthropologist would think is neutral. There need to be more sources from Aboriginal voices, but those might be hard to come by in peer-reviewed journals?

Option 2

History of Western Australia (top pick)

Once again, the section on Aboriginal settlement is appallingly short compared to the massive timeline they have created about European contact. There is is much information that could be added about settlements, current ethnographic research, etc.

Option 3

Bass Strait

The information is pretty good, I especially like the graphics. I think there could be more information on archaeological sites and their histories in connection to the occupation timeline.

Option 4

Shipwrecks of Western Australia

This article is not pleasing to the eye, it also has no graphics. Pictures are needed for sure and possibly a timeline of shipwrecks.

Option 5

Madjedbebe

I've looked at this article before and I still think it needs more opposing theories and research in the archaeological findings section. I think they only present one side of the argument.
