Land and Sea Conference
19-21 April 2005
Ross River
More than 400 delegates from all over Australia enjoyed the bush setting and the beautiful weather at the first Indigenous Land and Sea Conference hosted by the Central Land Council in April this year. For two days delegates talked about the issues, the challenges and some of the solutions they have found in their land management projects.
They also enjoyed some top class entertainment and yarns around the camp fire. Some found funding sources and some found inspiration. Others enjoyed passing on their knowledge to those just starting out.

Conference Impressions
"I think it is tremendous because I have never seen such a congregation of Aboriginal people from all around Australia before and to listen to the experience and to what people are doing right throughout Australia is not just good for me, but for all of us here because it gives great encouragement to people about what is being done, and what can be done, by just working collectively."
Bruce Lloyd Chairman Australian Landcare Council
"The conference is great - hearing other people talk - it's been really powerful and it's really touched me. We should have more and get something out of it and look at the next step."
Ishmahl Croft, Kimberley Land Council
I have learnt a lot from this: met lots of interesting people, and possibly found a couple of funding sources but the biggest thing I'm getting out of it is learning so much."
Cheryl Crawford, Brewarrina
Bruce Lloyd, Chairman Australian Landcare Council
