Stories of the ancient Anaiwan people etched into granite outcrops high in northern New South Wales are set to become more accessible to the public.
Formerly known as Mount Yarrowyck Nature Reserve, it will be renamed Bulagaranda Aboriginal AreaProtected and known as the Mount Yarrowyck Nature Reserve since 1983, the site west of Armidale, in the New England region, has been returned to the custody of its Aboriginal owners.
The site will remain open to the public under the new agreement, which will see the land managed in partnership with the National Parks and Wildlife Service. "[It's] one which actually talks to how we as Aboriginal people moved across that landscape and shared our stories and culture.""We also want to manage the environmental impacts that have happened to the Mount Yarrowyck or Bulagaranda ... and make sure it comes back to a stage where it is healthy, spiritually and physically," Ms Kitchener said.
