Indigenous group help in line searches for malleefowl mounds

On Tuesday and Wednesday May 23^rd and 24^th, I was involved in searching an area of the Skinners Flat Block of the Wychitella NCR with 9 employees of the Ngurta Werkitya Program, a group of young indigenous people from Swan Hill and Mildura, Rod and Leota from VMRG and Suzie from Parks Victoria. This block contained two known mounds, which luckily we located, (it would have been a bit embarrassing if we didn’t), and we located two unmarked mounds, which will become part of the VMRG monitoring program. It was a really successful few days.
