Djaara Balaki Wuka

Djandak Wi Strategy - Dhelkunya Wi 2024 - 2034 Our Country “A healthy Country is a healthy mob.” Djaara have lived and thrived on Djandak, our Country, for tens of thousands of years. To us, Djandak is a living entity, a unique Cultural landscape that has been shaped and nurtured by our Martinga Guli (Ancestors), spirituality, djali (language), Lore, and kin over millennia. Each place on our Djandak is known, valued, has a name, has a song, and is embedded with Murrup (spirit). Caring for Djandak is the living essence that is shared between People and place. We will always care for our Djandak. “We think of Djandak as a living breathing being and that if you take one thing out of the environment it can alter the balance of biodiversity around you. We have a connection to all things on our Djandak be it the smallest insect playing its part in the ecosystem to a tree that has fallen, to a human being playing our role in the environment.” Woolshed Swamp 2019, 2020, 2023 Gutjun Bulok 2020, 2021, 2023 Hunter 2020, 2021, 2023 Lake Boort 2017, 2018, 2020, 2023 Thunder Swamp 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 Borung Ngarri 2018 Buckrabanyule 2023 Maryborough 2017, 2021 ONE BURN TWO BURNS THREE BURNS FOUR BURNS Newstead 2023 Yapenya 2023 Wanyarra Dum 2023 Nuggety Road 2023 Brights Lane 2017, 2021, 2023 Mysia NCR 2021, 2023 Number of times Djaara have conducted Djandak Wi since reintroduction in 2017:
