🌿🏆 ADELAIDE, HERE WE COME! WISH DHIMURRU LUCK! 🏆🌿

We are incredibly proud to share that Dhimurru Aboriginal Corporation has been selected as one of just THREE finalists in our category at the 2026 Indigenous Governance Awards! 🎉

Our Board and Rangers are heading to Adelaide to find out whether Dhimurru will bring home the award!

Being recognised as a finalist is already an incredible achievement and a proud moment for our Yolŋu community.

This recognition is about more than the work we do. It acknowledges the strength of Yolŋu leadership, cultural authority and governance that has guided Dhimurru for decades.

One of the things we are most proud of is that we have never separated our culture from our community simply because we operate as a corporation. Our Yolŋu values, our Traditional Owners and our responsibilities to care for Country remain at the heart of everything we do.

This achievement belongs to our Elders, Traditional Owners, Board, Rangers, staff and everyone who has contributed to Dhimurru's journey.

❤️ Whether we win or not, our Board and Rangers are already incredibly proud to be recognised among the three finalists in our category. It is a recognition of generations of Yolŋu leadership, hard work and commitment to caring for Country.

🎥 Watch our video and hear from our own people about what makes Dhimurru special.

🙌 Now we are calling on our community, families, friends and supporters to get behind us!

Leave us a message, share this post and wish our Board and Rangers luck as they head to Adelaide to represent Dhimurru and our community!

Whatever the outcome, this is a moment for our whole community to celebrate!

💚 Strong culture. Strong community. Strong Yolŋu governance.

👏🏽 Congratulations to these four outstanding Rangers on achieving their aerial shooting accreditation!

A fantastic achievement and an important milestone for women in Indigenous land and sea management.

It's inspiring to see more Indigenous women breaking barriers, building their skills and taking on leadership roles in caring for Country.

At Dhimurru, we recognise the importance of strengthening Indigenous Ranger capabilities and supporting opportunities for women to lead in protecting our land, sea and cultural values.

Well done to all four Rangers and the Western Cape Turtle Threat Abatement Alliance! 🌿🐢

Strong Rangers, strong communities, strong Country! 💚

💪🏾 Miyalk Caring for Sea Country 🌊

A huge effort from our Miyalk, removing an 80-metre rope weighing an incredible 327 kg — entirely by hand from our coastline.

Marine debris like this can pose a serious risk to turtles, marine animals and the health of our Sea Country.

Removing 327 kg of rope by hand is no small job. It shows the strength, determination and commitment of our Miyalk to looking after Country and keeping our coastlines and waters healthy.

Every piece removed makes a difference.

Strong Miyalk. Healthy Sea Country. 💙🌊
