Yandruwandha Yawarrawarrka Traditional Land Owners Aboriginal Corporation and South Australian Native Title Services present the initiative 'Padla Ngalungga Kinipapa' (Cooper Creek, Our Country).
The inaugural light and sound installation will be held during the July school holidays at Innamincka, creating an immersive cultural experience that celebrates the traditional lands of the Yandruwandha Yawarrawarrka people across south-west Queensland and north-east South Australia.
South Australia’s landscape boards, peak bodies, local and state government agencies, and other landscape management stakeholders have worked together to develop the strategy.
The document outlines seven priorities for the landscape boards and their communities to consider in their land management practices.
Aboriginal Way asked the co-chair of First Nations of South Australia Aboriginal Corporation to explain how each priority could be implemented using Indigenous knowledge.

Our aim is to achieve positive and lasting social, cultural, environmental and economic change for traditional owners.
