We recently had the great opportunity to spend a few days with Cobba Harrison, a Wotjobaluk Aboriginal man, who offered a valuable perspective into the bridge between traditional practices on Country and contemporary approaches to Natural Resources Management.
He has been working at Wimmera Catchment Management Authority in Victoria but took time out of his busy schedule to visit some of our sites and share his knowledge.
A poll commissioned by the Queensland Conservation Council reveals that 4 out of 5 Queenslanders support the creation of more national parks. Unfortunately, our unique wildlife, biodiversity and ecosystems are under threat, and we need bolder actions to preserve and there is growing momentum in people wanting to protect these gems.
Nature is good for you! We were told since we were kids to get some fresh air and go play in the park but as we grew older, many people don’t spend time thinking about just how beneficial nature is for us. Here’s a great read about the benefits of bringing a love of nature in your life.

Read about the front line against Cats Claw and some of the wins thanks to funding by Seqwater which has enabled the treatment of over 140km of waterways.

The RACQ Foundation recently brought a team of amazing volunteers for a full week of planting native trees along the riverbanks. These champions worked extremely hard to contribute to the future resilience for the area and deliver benefits for the Laidley Creek Restoration Master plan.
We sent along our roving reporter, Alberta, to cover the story.
