As part of their onboarding program, the Ngadju Bunna Rangers, together with NNTAC Director, Dianne Logan and GIS Specialist, Nick Middleton, recently visited Cave Hill to begin building shared understanding of the area and to strengthen skills that will support future land management.

The visit focused on using maps as practical tools for working on Country. Rangers spent time orienting themselves in the landscape, exploring how different map types can support on ground decision making and discussing how spatial information can bring together cultural knowledge, environmental values and operational planning.

Cave Hill is a culturally and historically significant place for Ngadju people and provided an ideal setting for this learning. Being on Country allowed conversations to move beyond the map page, grounding discussions in lived experience, observation and story. Rangers shared perspectives on how places connect across the landscape and how mapping can help capture these connections in ways that support both cultural priorities and management needs.

Importantly, the visit also marked the beginning of thinking about a future plan of management for the area. As part of an ongoing discussion with the Department of Biodiversity Conservation and Attractions (DBCA), it has been agreed that Ngadju making their own plan will be a critical first step on a pathway towards co-management of this area and in defining a future role for the ranger team in the delivery of that plan.

From a management planning perspective, this first visit focused on drawing out ranger perspectives on: What values need to be protected? What are the current threats to those values? What further knowledge, mapping and monitoring will be needed over time?

This early, collaborative approach sets a strong foundation for planning that is guided by Ngadju knowledge and ranger experience. It reinforces that management planning is an ongoing process — one that grows through time spent on Country, shared learning, and respectful use of tools like maps to support decision making.

The Cave Hill visit was an important step in the onboarding journey for the Ngadju Bunna Rangers, supporting skill development while affirming the central role of Country, culture and knowledge in caring for this place into the future.
The next stage in making the Ngadju plan of management for Cave Hill is for the rangers to host an on-country workshop with Ngadju knowledge holders in the coming months to identify priorities and strategies for better management of this important area.

For Ngadju people with knowledge of the area and others interested in participating in making a Ngadju plan of management for Cave Hill, please contact the ranger team at [email protected].

A fabulous few days on Ngadju coastal country on a trip to explore and co-plan a ground breaking white shark research project with the awesome DPIRD research team Mike and Tom. Lots of ideas and good humour shared in a truly spectacular setting and we look forward to many more to come.
