Ranger Stories
In the weeks before Garma 2009 all the Dhimurru Rangers attended CSWE (Certificate in Spoken and Written English) course with Batchelor Training Institute as part of their ongoing training. This particular block focused on preparing for the Dhimurru Garma Display. It involved the Rangers seperating into their three groups to produce a few posters each, a profile for each person, a 3D sculpture and some kids activities.

Join Dhimurru’s Volunteers Group!
Dhimurru often plans projects that are open to volunteer participation from within the community and abroad. These include Week-end activities, Marine Debris Clean-ups, Turtle Monitoring, Track Clearing, Ghost Net Monitoring and Survey Work.
Dhimurru invites any interested member of the community to lodge their details with Dhimurru. Dhimurru will then sort out its logistics before getting back to confirm your participation. These events are great opportunities to take part in sharing hard work as well as camp fires, and the beauty of this part of the Dhimurru Indigenous Protected Area.
In order to streamline the event and minimize logistics Dhimurru is asking participants to be as self-contained as possible.
If you would like to join Dhimurru’s Volunteers, or for more information, please forward your details to assist@SPAMBUNGLERdhimurru.com.au and we’ll keep you updated on upcoming events. (To email remove SPAMBUNGLER.)

Ghost Nets
Traditional Owners, conservationists, scientists & government representatives from all parts of the Gulf of Carpentaria gathered together in Yirrkala recently to discuss an issue of common concern: Ghost Nets
Ghost nets are fishing nets that have been either lost or discarded at sea which continue to fish as if guided by a ghostly hand - the ocean currents & winds - and end up becoming rubbish on our shores. These nets are recognized throughout the world as a menace to all marine wild life but in the Gulf region they are a particular threat to turtles & dugongs.
