communities have explored, cared for and lived on this remarkable country we share. They have faced incredible adversity, but despite it all, they have endured while staying true to their values. As a society, we are developing a better appreciation of their
long history of innovation. These include agricultural design, such as the Brewarrina fish traps, and land management techniques like cool burnings. Our journey together is a long and shared road.</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
