Walkatjurra Walkabout - Yeelirrie to Leonora
"The walk will continue to be a celebration of
Wangkatja country, a testament to the strength
of the community who have fought to stop
uranium mining at Yeelirrie for over forty years,
and a chance to come together and continue
to share our commitment to a sustainable
future without nuclear. It is a chance to
reconnect with the land, and to revive the
tradition of walking for country."

Event: Sat 6 July to Sun 14 July 2013:
North of Broome on the Dampier Peninsula, Kimberley, WA
The Lurujarri Dreaming Trail
Walk the Trail with us in 2013
"In 1987, Paddy Roe initiated the Lurujarri Heritage
Trail as a trigger to encourage the members of the
Goolarabooloo community to be walking the Country
again, as had always been done; to conserve;
renew and stay connected with their heritage and
traditional skills and to keep the same alive for
generations to come. He also sought to wake up
non-Aboriginal people to a relationship with the land;
to foster trust; friendship and empathy between the
indigenous community and the wider Australian
and International communities."
