“In future years it’ll be commonplace because we can grow these grasses on degraded land. I think there are a lot of farmers on marginal land now. They want some consistency, and they want reduced costs. Perennial grain is a way to do that.” - Bruce Pascoe https://t.co/PtwQn3fptH

The Parnngurr rangers have installed new signs along the #CanningStockRoute (CSR).

KJ rangers often help tourists, check permits & ensure sites remain protected along the CSR.

If you’re planning a visit, sort a permit through Kuju Wangka https://t.co/4cVhj3zFD4

This week’s #Martu #Wangka lesson is “yankura-li!”

If the sun starts setting, and it’s time for home, you can say “Kuwarri ruka, yankura-li” (It’s late afternoon now, let’s go!)

You could even say “Yankura-li yarrkalpa/wartilpa” (Let’s go hunting!)
