NQ Dry Tropics has developed a booklet aimed at highlighting the Aboriginal cultural significance of land in our region.

The publication, A Healthy Land Yarn: Aboriginal Cultural Heritage, is designed to share cultural heritage with the landcare community and contribute to managing cultural resources.

Traditional Owners of land and sea country in the region launched A Caring for Country Plan in 2005. The plan aims to empower Traditional Owners to make informed decisions and become involved in cultural heritage and land and water management.

A Caring for Country Plan is a landmark document that was developed with extensive consultation with Traditional Owner groups.

NQ Dry Tropics set up the Traditional Owner Management Group in 2003. It meets at least three times a year to discuss natural and cultural heritage issues.

There are 15 Traditional Owner representatives involved in the group, and they’re represented by an executive core of four.

This book was produced for graziers. It has descriptions of a variety of plants and animals that might live on properties and the benefits they provide. It also shows how biodiversity can be included in land management decisions.

Spiral bound and printed on card, it’s designed to be thrown in the glove box as a reference guide.

The Research to Reality book is for graziers who want to improve their bottom line.

It gives results from work with three groups of beef producers encompassing 19 enterprises, 680,000 hectares of land and the management of 162,000 cattle. The properties were located near Greenvale, Collinsville and west of Clermont.

The work included ways to increase profits in the areas of cattle and land management.
