Using VR to see Country through a cultural lens: What is Due Diligence?

Using VR to see Country through a cultural lens: What is Due Diligence?

Presented by Rodney Freeman, Act SNR Aboriginal Community Support Officer for Local Land Services, South East at the Goulburn Wetlands managed by FROGS Landcare. Goulburn Mulwaree Landcare Landscape very much appreciated the welcome to country given by the Pejar Local Aboriginal Land Council .

Participants had the chance to experience cultural learning and gain a better understanding of what Due Diligence is, not just through traditional storytelling and connecting to Country, but through a digital lens using virtual reality.

This unique workshop provided deeper meaning of caring for Country and helped participants to identify cultural artefacts. Participants also received a due diligence checklist circulated at the workshop. The question was asked, “If you are going to work on a site, what are the culturally significant things to consider, following the due diligence checklist”.

Across the Fence Farming Project

Across the Fence Farming

The ATFF project, is designed to address challenges faced by lifestyle landholders managing properties between 5 and 40 hectares by encouraging neighbours to work together, combining land resources and management skills. The initiative aims to create more drought resilient, productive, and biodiverse landscapes while fostering stronger community connections.

The Across the Fence Farming project is about bringing neighbours together "Across The Fence" to learn about nature positive practices that increase biodiversity and make for healthy and resilient landscapes in all climate conditions. We believe, sharing land, livestock, machinery, labour and resources can return subdivided land to prime condition for profitable farming and help to restore biodiverse ecosystems. We believe in helping to build a community that is able to come together and become more resilient by preparing, in advance, for the inevitable challenges of drought, fire and flood.

Rob Lawson - Grazing for tomorrow series

Gain insights and inspiration for managing your grazing operation into the future with this Grazing for Tomorrow Bungonia Field Day video!

This video is part of a series documenting workshops delivered by the South East Landcare network's under the People Led Prevention Project. The Grazing for Tomorrow workshops focused on helping graziers and livestock owners understand and manage risks for positive landscape, business and well-being outcomes, as well as build more resilient grazing systems across south east NSW.

This video was produced in May 2024 by Upper Shoalhaven Landcare Council with the support of South East Landcare network. We’d like to thank all presenters and participants who attended the Bungonia Grazing for Tomorrow Field Day, especially our host Rob Lawson, facilitators Paul Cavanagh and Richard Page, Landcare Coordinators Sarah McGrath, Linda Cavanagh, Nathan Frazer and Erin Brinkley, as well as Instant Andy video production house for their contribution to the project.

The Upper Shoalhaven Landcare Council would also like to acknowledge and pay our respects to the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the lands where we live and work, celebrating the diversity of Aboriginal peoples and their ongoing cultures and connections to the lands and waters of NSW.

This video was made possible through funding from the Landcare NSW People Led Prevention project. Landcare NSW’s People Led Prevention project empowers communities across regional NSW in developing disaster resilience and preparedness skills. The Disaster Risk Reduction Fund is jointly funded by the Australian and NSW Governments.

Goulburn Mulwaree Landcare Landscapes along with Upper Shoalhaven Landcare are proud to showcase

Frank Egan's farm on the headwaters of the Durran Durra Creek that feeds into the Shoalhaven River.

Over many years now, Frank has observed the water flowing over his landscape and has successfully

slowed and spread the water to hydrate the land and restore ecosystem functioning.

Frank also manages his livestock to suit the landscape, and aid in the

restoration of native grasses, shrubs and trees.
