SA Arid Lands Indigenous Ranger Gathering 2025

4 minute watch

Eight Indigenous Ranger teams from across the South Australian Arid Lands came together for three days of learning and knowledge sharing. Hosted by Arabana Elders and Rangers, the gathering took place on Finniss Springs, Arabana Country.

It's really lovely to share it with other groups. We're happy and we love it when other people come up and have that open invitation. People are welcome to come back here anytime." 

Isabelle, Arabana Elder

The IDA acknowledges the Arabana community, Arabana Rangers, SA Arid Lands Landscape Board and major sponsor BHP for making this ranger gathering possible.

Arabana Aboriginal Corporation

The Arabana Aboriginal Corporation adminsters lands and waters on behalf of the Arabana people. The Arabana Country traditional name is Ngurabanna, the land of the mound springs. Mound springs are precious water holes that spread far and wide across Arabana Country. The springs are central to our culture, and they help sustain life in the beautiful, desert lands. In 2012, Arabana decided to call our organisation Arabana, which means Sturt Desert Pea, the unique flower that blossoms in the Arabana desert after winter rains. In 2012, Arabana were granted Native Title to over 69000 square kilometres of Australia, in recognition of their ancient and ongoing connection to Ngurabanna Country.
