Taking care of Country is something the First Nations of Australia have been doing for thousands of years. Today, Larrakia Rangers like Gabby Millar and Sarah Rolland continue to take care of the land, sea and wildlife in and around Darwin. In this episode you’ll hear about a very special bird that flies thousands of kilometres from Russia, Alaska and China to roost on Larrakia country. 

To check out their beautiful Coastal Birds of Larrakia Country booklet, get in touch with the Larrakia Rangers: http://larrakia.com/services/larrakia-rangers/

The Larrakia people are the traditional owners and custodians of Darwin in the Northern Territory of Australia. Saltwater Stories of the Larrakia is a podcast that shares our knowledge of Country, community, family and culture with you so you can understand our deep connection to our home.
