We work with Traditional Owners and communities to manage natural resources in north-western SA.

The all-Aboriginal Alinytjara Wilurara Landscape Board is comprised of respected leaders from across the region. The Board has broad representation of the major stakeholders of the region including but not exclusive to Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara, Maralinga Tjarutja, Yalata and Far West Aboriginal Corporation. The Alinytjara Wilurara (AW) region covers 26% of South Australia in the remote north-west of the state. The boundary of the AW Landscape region extends from the Northern Territory to the Southern Ocean and from the Western Australian border almost to Coober Pedy. Although it is one of the hottest and most remote areas of South Australia it is also rich and diverse in its flora, fauna and cultural heritage. The board proudly partners with Aboriginal groups and individuals in landscape management and in doing so underpins broader social outcomes including health, education and financial wellbeing.

This curious dingo was snapped as it checked out one of our trail cameras at Mungala. Dingoes are an important species in the AW region, environmentally and culturally.

Thanks Invasive Species Council for coming along to Silent Country and BuffelpalooSA, and for shining a light on the buffel grass crisis. SA has led the way on buffel and with landscape boards, landholders, ranger teams and communities working together, we’ve shown that the spread of buffel can be managed.

Buffel grass threatens Uluru – and much more. It’s time to treat this invasive w**d as the national emergency it is.

Feral Friday
Cameras monitoring our Canid Pest Ejector trial show foxes taking the baits. The devices are modified to exclude dingoes, a culturally and environmentally important species.

Thursday Birdsday!
AW staff and Far West Coast Rangers recently spent three days in Yellabinna Regional Reserve monitoring nganamara (malleefowl) mounds.
Across the trip, 26 mounds were surveyed as part of ongoing monitoring efforts.
While nganamara remained elusive, the reserve was alive with flowering grevilleas, birds, invertebrates and reptiles.

Happy Wombat Day!
Wombats are one of Australia’s most recognisable marsupials, well known for their ability to dig tunnels. Their pouch faces backwards so it doesn’t fill with soil while digging. To defend themselves against predators, their rear end is largely cartilage covered with toughened skin, making it difficult to bite them when they are sheltering in a burrow. The southern hairy-nosed wombat is found in the southern part of the AW region.

This week is a special one for bird fans – the Aussie Bird Count is on!
BirdLife Australia’s annual citizen science project encourages everyone to spend just 20 minutes a day looking and listening, and recording the birds they observe.
One bird we would love to report a sighting of is the plains-wanderer, an odd and cryptic bird with a distinctive ‘ooming’ call. We’re listening for them on the Nullarbor, as described in our current issue of Palya.

Welcome Gurdie!
Bulgurda the sea lion (Gurdie for short) was made from beach debris collected by Far West Coast Rangers. AW sponsored the project, which brought in artist Sue Ryan from the Ghostnets Project, along with local Ceduna artists Pam Diment and Collete Gray, who turned the waste into art.
Gurdie is raising awareness of the need to protect our oceans and coasts, and she’ll be spreading the word in the foyer of our Waymouth St office in Adelaide for the next couple of months.
AW General Manager Kim Krebs welcomed FWC Ranger Manager Greg Cramond when he dropped Gurdie off this week.
