Caring for Kuku Nyungkal Country
Our vision for our bubu (land)1 is to
Maintain our Nyungkal culture, belief, customs and law/lore;
Sustain, conserve, and preserve our country, landscapes, waters, mountains and all our cultural sites;
The continuation of the Rubber Vine Control works on Lukin River Containment line has shown a targeted approach which continues to reduce the threat of Rubber Vine extending past the containment line. The areas controlled cover a total area of approx 784 ha with 28 km of River.
