Hunter Local Land Services joined Virtus Heritage, Wonnarua Nation Aboriginal Corporation and Wanaruah Local Aboriginal Land Council to conduct a cultural survey on the upper Hunter River on Wonnarua Country. The survey mapped significant cultural values and land uses including artefact sites, and the places people had camped, hunted and gathered resources.
Jointly funded by the Australian and NSW governments under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements, the Riverbank Rehabilitation Project’s Cultural Waterways program supports First Nations communities to preserve and manage cultural values on river Country affected by the 2021 and 2022 floods.
