Our Trip to Cardwell

By Brenda Huddleston, Wagiman-Guwardagun Ranger

My cousin Daphne and I went to the Land and Sea Management Conference at Cardwell in October 2007. We went there to sell our Wagiman Bush Soaps and meet other people who are doing land management work.

We both enjoyed the boat cruise and the rainforest walk, where the Traditional Owners showed us around the area. I also really enjoyed the Conference Dinner and the Torres Strait Island dancers.

It was good to meet lots of new friends, and we enjoyed some of the sessions at the Conference. We learnt lots of new things about Caring for Country, turtles and dugongs and bushfire management. It was our first time to go to this place and we had a great time.
