Murrunmala Dhawun Rangers were proud to attend the 2026 NSW Aboriginal Ranger Gathering, connecting with Ranger teams from across NSW to share knowledge, culture, skills and experiences in caring for Country.

Our Rangers look forward to bringing what they have learned back to Coonabarabran and putting new knowledge and skills into practice within our community.

For the past few weeks Murrunmala Dhawun Rangers and Coonabarabran LALC Staff have been working alongside the incredible Heidi McGlashan from Daring Leadership bringing together our team, creating purpose, learning about communications and grounding us in our roles.

We are excited about this partnership and where to next!

Yesterday our Rangers had the chance to join St Puis & Christian Brothers High School on their Red Dirt Immersion Tour at Sandstone Caves.

We shared knowledge of what our Ranger Program offers, shared stories of our local area and spent time on country.

This was our 3rd Year attending the Red Dirt Immersion Tour and we look forward to many years to come.

A huge thank you to Sam and Blake for the opportunity to join.

ABORIGINAL SITES COURSE: This week our Rangers participated in an Aboriginal Sites Course facilitated by TAFE NSW at the Coonabarabran LALC.

The course was taught by Uncle Victor Briggs. Participants were very appreciative for his sharing of knowledge and stories.

A huge thank you to Gail Simpson for organising the course.

We look forward to many more training opportunities with TAFE NSW.

BUSHFIRE TRAINING: Over the past 2 days our Women’s Ranger Team participated in training held by our local Castlereagh Zone RFS to become Basic Bushfire Fighters.

During the two days Graham, Val, the RFS team and our Rangers developed the skills and knowledge to be able to attend a bushfire.

The boys attended on day 2 to showcase what they have learnt and practised scenarios should a fire arise and both crews have to attend, the race was on between the boys and girls to see who could do it right, the fastest.. it depends who you ask as to who won the race.

Thanks to the Castlereagh Zone for hosting us and providing the training to our Rangers. This partnership is one we truly value and look forward to continuing well into the future.
