my name's great money on the CEO of the

Morioka aboriginal corporation based in

Karratha nwa Morioka aboriginal

corporation was formed in the early

2000s it was brought together to

represent the interests of local

aboriginal people who have a strong

cultural interest in the land

particularly here on the borough which

we call more ajuga the traditional

owners always aspired to have Rangers on

this country about four years ago when

we approached Woodside Woodside come on

board and shared our interest in

managing and conserving the land and

protecting it on behalf of our people hi

I'm Phil McNair

I'm the manager here at the merge of the

land and sea unit the whole point of

what we're trying to do here is to

return or maintain in this country in

its natural state and preserve those

cultural values and significant sites

really and it helped look after him the

traditional way my name is Mara Reid I'm

one of the training ranges and more to

the lemon SI unit I've been with the

more Google done an SI unit for about

ten months now my role as a trainee is

just to get guidance from the elders and

also the senior Rangers and get guidance

from them to show us how to look after

and manage country currently in process

of my training with conservation Land

Management what we've done is we've

added a bit of a cultural part to the

conservation land manager course and

that's what the institutionalized

incircle elders were their input because

that's quite important public cultural

values are added into that training the

second welder's is a very important role

they're the people that teach us the

customary ways and they're all painted

waves and the cultural ways which is

very important to the Rangers to

managers country Eddy

this rehab project is funded by Woodside

it's a project that the Rangers are

working in conjunction with traditional

- just to get it back to its natural

state we started that in 2015 and it was

just laying core measures down to

prevent cars any kind of motor bikes

getting access to the blades pulling up

bollards and it just brings back the

natural sources the natural plants for

what had been damaged there before when

we interact with visitors on the

National Park we tended to hand them a

brochure procedures States what they can

and can't do respect whatever the

country itself but they're mainly asking

us about where all the rock art is so we

direct them to deep gorge and they go

have a look there so there's a million

odd petroglyphs in deep gorge and around

the National Park everyone can go there

we have our cultural signs as well up

there so they know that not to climb the

rocks and take photos of arcade faces or

pick figures human figures hello my name

is Nathan I work as the Ranger out here

for the Mirage a girl and an SI unit

here at on the archipelago so they're

like 42 islands that we monitor we

monitor things like the mango systems

rough water we populations turtles do

bonds would do that Laura welcome to

countries at no Islands

whilst I keep my eye out for illegal

activities to get a lot of stuff washed

up from the boats and quite a few

graffiti we found out there as well if

we find any of that we report that

straight away to your customs or a

security or federal Port Authority the

best part of being a modular Ranger out

in the merge of the National Park is to

look after the water itself the country

and knowing who the traditional owners

are off the land and get guidance from

them from helping us

what I love most about being out on the

islands is the beaches the scenery and

all the wildlife that goes with it

plants and animals flowering time is

just beautiful I love the main thing

I've learned in here and that I pay

attention to is the traditional owners

to us the high cultural sensitivity of

this place and that's a very serious and

also very important role that I have to

convey through the Mirage Atlanta scene

and make sure that those values are

adhered to and followed would sides been

really important to more juga aboriginal

corporation it's enabled us to develop

our Ranger unit the Ranger unit is

critical for us and they've been able to

develop their capability over the years

right now today there are a modern

highly efficient highly capable Ranger

unit which is we like to think one of

the best Ranger units certainly in the

state of WI we've got Woodside to thank

for their support and we'd also like to

extend our hand that we would like to

work closely with Woodside into the

future as well

you
