Out talking sandalwood at Ninghan Station and this gorgeous Perentie (Varanus giganteus) dropped in for a cameo appearance. #SantalaceaeScience #BadimiaCountry #TwoWayScience #RightWayScience

Always a treat to have these guys show up at my sandalwood study sites. Perentie (Varanus giganteus) at Ninghan Station. #SantalaceaeScience #BadimiaCountry #TwoWayScience #RightWayScience

Gulbali is derived from “Gulbali ngurambang”—a Wiradjuri phrase which translates to “to understand country". “After consultation with First Nations people, we use this phrase respectfully as the name of our research institute” - @Gulbali_Inst #RightWayScience #TwoWayScience 2/2

Also great to hear the passion of my friend, Badimia Elder Ashley Bell — a sandalwood custodian working to protect and restore sandalwood on Badimia Country. #Catalyst @ABCscience #TraditionalEcologicalKnowledge #RightWayScience #TwoWayScience 2/2

Well, Australian sandalwood didn’t win #AustraliasFavouriteTree on #Catalyst tonight. But I was so honoured that it was chosen, and to talk with @jones_ann @ABCscience about the ecological and cultural importance of this ancient tree. #RightWayScience #TwoWayScience 1/2

Looking forward to the segment on Australian sandalwood on @abclandline this Saturday. Accolades to Badimia Elder Ashley Bell (with whom I’ve been working) who wants to protect sandalwood on Badimia Country. #TraditionalEcologicalKnowledge #RightWayScience #TwoWayScience

Today I had the upmost privilege to visit Wardagger Rock at Ninghan Indigenous Protected Area with local #Badimia men Ashley and Drew Bell. It is a very special place soaked in history and culture. #TwoWayScience #CountryNeedsPeople #WildOz

On our way down to #Wedge today to talk #TwoWayScience and look who we bumped into - Mr Emu and his children. Stay staff our feathered friends. #WildOz

Today was a good day #Malleefowl monitoring on #Badimia Country at Ninghan Indigenous Protected Area. Lots of active mounds plus tracks galore. #TwoWayScience #WildOz #ThreatenedSpecies
