10.01.2022 Hawk Dreaming Wilderness Lodge is in the northern end of Kakadu National Park I. The Northern Territory. The site where the lodge is situated was the home of Dolly, Bills sister. Big Bill Neidjie was the last surviving speaker of the Gaagudju language from northern Kakadu after which the World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park. His decision to open up this land to other people was instrumental in the creation of Kakadu National Park. He is called Big Bill Neidjie because... of his physique and physical strength. He was also called Gagudju Man and Kakadu Man. He was born at Alawanydajawany on the East Alligator River around 1920 into the Bunitj clan of the Gagudju people. Big Bill was instrumental in the decision to lease his traditional lands to the Commonwealth of Australia so that it could be managed as a wild area and as a resource to be shared by all Australians. After helping establish Kakadu as a National Park in 1979, he returned there to commit the rest of his life to supporting the joint management of the Park. In many indigenous Australian cultures, there are traditional secrets passed down from generation to generation, and it is taboo to reveal these secrets to a non-initiate. As he grew older, Bill Neidjie realised that he might be in the position, as one of the last Gagudju initiates, of taking these secrets to the grave with him, and so made the courageous decision to break this taboo, so that his culture might live on. Bill Neidjie died on 23 May 2002. The Federal Minister for the Environment and Heritage, David Kemp, said, "He was instrumental in the establishment of Kakadu National Park and was deeply committed to sharing his love for his country, his respect for the heritage of his country and his indigenous culture with countless thousands of park visitors and all who shared his love for the natural world."[1] These notes are taken from Wikipedia.
