19.01.2022 Take a moment to think of that day, tens of thousands of years ago, when Indigenous artists stood at this rock face and painted their story. Did they debate which colours to use? Was it raining? Were they in a drought time? That day was as real to them as yours is to you today. https://parkstrust.org.au/projects/kakadu

11.01.2022 Tjukurpa law is fundamental to the Anangu, the traditional owners of Uluu-Kata Tjua National Park. It refers to the creation period and contains knowledge of how the relationships between plants, animals and the land came to be, what they mean and how they must be maintained. The endangered Tjakura (great desert skink) is part of Tjukurpa law and work is being done to protect it from feral animals. Visit https://parkstrust.org.au/projects/uluru/ to find out more.

08.01.2022 Why is a Booby called a Booby? 18th century Spanish sailors called these birds bobo, slang for stupid, because the birds could be easily captured when they landed on ships at sea.
