The Indjalandji-Dhidhanu rangers care for their traditional country of the upper Georgina River Basin, a vast area of red and black soil country extending across the Queensland-Northern Territory border around Camooweal.
Indjalandji-Dhidhanu Country encompasses the grassland plains and limestone caves of the Barkly Tablelands, and is drained by freshwater systems flowing south to Lake Eyre.
Their priorities include:
- revisiting, recording, managing and protecting cultural heritage sites, and undertaking knowledge transmission
- conservation and cultural management activities at Wiliyan-ngurru National Park including the development of visitor management materials, monitoring of visitor activities, and reporting of compliance issues
- managing feral animals on Indjalandji-Dhidhanu heartland areas
- undertaking fire management with partners
- surveying of native ecosystem values and condition (plants, animals, water) in the Indjalandji-Dhidhanu heartland, in association with other experts (ecologists, botanists, hydrogeologists and cavers)
- managing weeds and cultural heritage on agreed pastoral stations
- designing and implementing a junior ranger program about Indjalandji-Dhidhanu culture and conservation.
