Connections on Country: Working together to understand and protect Adnyamathanha rock art in the Ikara-Flinders Ranges
Title: Connections on Country: Working together to understand and protect Adnyamathanha rock art in the Ikara-Flinders Ranges
Summary: In Glass Gorge in the Ikara-Flinders Ranges, a series of rock etchings are present in the Wockera Wirra Limestone. The age of the etchings is unknown.
The project team has been asked by the Adnyamathanha Traditional Lands Association (ATLA) to investigate these rock etchings to understand their age and assess their vulnerability to geomorphic and climatic risks.
The team aims to co-design a research program with ATLA that aligns with the objectives of the community and the corporation, including advancing Indigenous knowledge and informing risk mitigation strategies that may serve to inform healthy Country management plans.
