Carpentaria Land Council Aboriginal Corporation 30 Year Anniversary Celebrations.
CLCAC Rangers completed the last round of training required to complete their Certificate II in Remote Crocodile Management on 4 March, in an intensive two week training program that included weekend work. This round of training focused on nest surveys and egg incubation.
With the completion of their training to a Certificate II level the Rangers can begin to explore commercial enterprises involving crocodile management, a long-time aspiration of local Traditional Owner groups.
Congratulations to all the participants and a hearty well done to the six rangers who gained their qualifications!
