Traditional Owner Newsletter

NQ Dry Tropics has developed a Traditional Owner newsletter, which keeps you up-to-date with the goings on of 16 Traditional Owner groups in our region.

The 12-page newsletter is useful for people involved in Aboriginal land management issues and anyone interested in Traditional Owner community and culture.

It tells you about the activities of the NQ Dry Tropics Traditional Owner Management Group like workshops, training and on-ground projects.
