Mayala on country

In late 2020, Mayala traditional owners, supported by the Kimberley Land Council, received an Australian Government Our Marine Parks Grant to build their capability and involvement in Kimberley Marine Park management. In October 2021, KLC and Australian Marine Parks were fortunate to join Mayala on the first of two back-to-country voyages to the remote and spectacular Buccaneer Archipelago, off the Kimberley coast of Western Australia. Fifteen Mayala traditional owners and aspiring Mayala rangers travelled to the top end of the Mayala country, spending five days exploring some of the hard-to-access islands, including culturally significant Noomoonjoo (Caffarelli Island). Enjoy this beautiful video 📹 which shows what this trip and grant mean to Mayala traditional owners.
