#KJMartuRangers cleaned a soak near #Punmu & set up a camera to monitor who was coming in for a drink. They caught three playful #Dingoes drinking and splashing at night! 🐾 By watching who uses the water, KJ Martu #Rangers help care for these important places. #CaringForCountry

We’ve been continuing our #CommunityConsultations in #Punmu + #Kunawarritji, checking in on how KJ is tracking against the #12MartuOutcomes + listening closely to what community members have to say about our impact. Learn more about the 12 Martu Outcomes kj.org.au/our-impact

While checking on #ThreatenedSpecies out #OnCountry, #KJMartuRangers came across some delicious bush tucker! They collected wamurla (bush tomato) + jinyjiwirrily (wild gooseberry/desert raisin). These fruits grow on spiky bushes with purple flowers + are packed full of vitamin C.

The KJ #Parnngurr #WomenAndFamiliesProgram had a great 2-night camp with the #KJMartuRangers! Kids helped survey for #GreatDesertSkink, collected #BushTucker, made damper & visited a soak. Growing up strong on-Country, connected to #MartuCulture, #MartuCountry & family.

#KJMartuRangers from #Punmu and #Parnngurr headed out on-Country for the #MulyamijiMarch, checking out 8 sites and finding 42 burrows of the #GreatDesertSkink! 🦎🙌🏿

In traditional #Pujiman days, #Martu made jakapiri (sandals) to protect their feet from hot desert sand. At #Kunawarritji Rawa #CommunitySchool, #KJMartuRangers taught kids how to weave bark from the jakapiri bush into foot-shaped sandals, just like the old people did. 🔥👣

#KJMartuRangers and Elder Thelma searched burned Country at Camp 61 for #Mulyamiji #GreatDesertSkink. They found an active burrow and set up cameras to monitor this culturally significant and threatened species. 🦎#CaringForCountry

While monitoring the #GreatDesertSkink, #KJMartuRangers from #Punmu cared for a soak. Water sources like this are vital to #MartuCulture and are protected to support #ThreatenedSpecies and #FutureGenerations on #MartuCountry.

#KJ is a #Martu not-for-profit organisation started by the old people. By respecting #MartuWays + listening to their voices, KJ creates impactful programs that help keep Martu #ConnectedToCulture + Country while tackling the social problems they face. #StrongMartuCommunities

#DidYouKnow #Martu call the #SturtsDesertPea "marlukururrpa"? Marlu = kangaroo, kuru = eye and rrpa = ish. The name roughly translates to "like kangaroo eye/s." Marlukururrpa is one of Australia’s most iconic wildflowers, found across central + north-western Australia.

While cleaning a soak, #KJMartuRangers found 3 old grinding stones, left behind from traditional #Pujiman (desert-born) times. These stones were used for grinding seeds into flour and were often left at camp sites to be used again on future visits.

Minyarra (bush onion) 🧅 is a popular Martu #BushTucker treat. Enjoyed roasted in the coals or eaten raw, it makes a delicious snack while travelling across Country! Collected from Jan-Jun, it grows beneath the sand near springs + salt lakes, where the ground still holds water.

Martu women and men from the KJ Wama Wangka and Martu Leadership Program travelled to Sydney for the 'Engaging Men and Boys to End the Cycle of Violence' conference. They also explored the city with a harbour cruise, a Bondi Beach visit, and an AFL game at the SCG.

Celebrating #NationalReconciliationWeek! This year’s theme, #BridgingNowToNext, reminds us of the strength + leadership of Martu. #KeepingCultureStrong by passing down knowledge through generations, #CaringForCountry + building pathways for young Martu to a #HealthyFuture.

This #NationalReconciliationWeek, we’re proud to share what #BridgingNowToNext looks like on #MartuCountry. Through on-Country trips, young people like Jadai learn language, cultural protocols, and #CaringForCountry

This #MaboDay, we're proudly resharing photos of a new generation of #KJJigalongRangers walking the same path as their parents and grandparents. Over a decade since the first team, their kids and grandkids are stepping up to #CareForCountry and #KeepKnowledgeStrong.

#JoinOurTeam: We’re looking for a RANGER / Community Field Coordinator to work alongside #KJMartuRangers and Elders, supporting their vision to #CareForCountry, culture, families and communities. Visit kj.org.au/work-with-us to apply!

In #Punmu, the #KJLanguageProgram team have been working together to build #LiteracyGames using #MartuWangka magnets. With Elder Gladys providing cultural guidance, these activities are designed to support learners to read, write + speak Martu Wangka in ways that are engaging.

On-Country with the #KJWomenAndFamiliesProgram, little Maleriah was shown how to make damper. While store-bought flour is used now instead of grinding seeds, the practice helps Martu carry food knowledge forward from pujiman times into today.

Happy #WorldFemaleRangerDay! A special shout-out to our #KJMartu female rangers for their amazing work! For over 16 years, they have kept Martu knowledge strong + Country healthy by implementing right-way fire, monitoring threatened species + controlling feral animals. 🖤🙌❤️
