Indigenous Protest

He was one of five traditional owners of Arnhem Land protesting outside Paltar HQ against their coal seam gas exploration.

 

Arnhem Land, off the coast of the Northern Territory, has been occupied by indigenous people for thousands of years. It is the biggest Aboriginal freehold area in Australia. It is a vast and remote region with spectacular escarpments, rock art, flood plains, animal life, beaches, mangrove wetlands and plant life. Most of it is closed to the independent traveller and access is by limited permit only to Gurig National Park.

 

Yirrkala, an indigenous community in Arnhem Land, is home to members of the indigenous rock band Yothu Yindi.
