Photography: June Andersen, Jon Harris, Michael Nelson Front cover: Ngudjung Mothers by Ms V. E. Brown SNR © Ngudjung is the story for my painting. “It's about Women's Lore; it's about the connection of all things. It's about the seven sister dreaming, that is a story that governs our land and our universal connection to the dreaming. It is also about the connection to the ocean where our dreaming stories that come from the ocean life that feeds us, teaches us about survival, amongst the sea life. It is stories of mammals, whales and dolphins that hold sacred language codes to the universe. It is about our existence from the first sunrise to present day. We are caretakers of our mother, the land. It is in balance with the universe to maintain peace and harmony. This painting is about us all and tells of the past, present and future. And it is the story that women have passed on for generations to share.” Booderee National Park Booderee National Park is owned by the traditional owners of the Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community. Booderee is a Dhurga word meaning ‘bay of plenty’. Vision The vision for Booderee National Park is: to excel in the natural and cultural heritage management of Booderee by acknowledging and utilising traditional, contemporary and scientific expertise. Key objectives The key objectives for the management of Booderee National Park are: • to conserve the biodiversity and cultural heritage of the park • to provide for appreciation and quiet enjoyment of the park • to benefit members of the Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council. Park values There are some attributes of the park which are fundamental to the park’s purpose and significance. These cultural and natural values are summarised in the park values statement (Table 1). Identification and recognition of the park’s values ensures a shared understanding about what is most important about the reserve, and the value statement helps to determine management and planning priorities. If the values are allowed to decline the park’s purpose and significance would be jeopardised. Management Plan 2015-2025 i Table 1: Park values statement Booderee National Park –Values Booderee National Park is jointly managed by the Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council and the Director of National Parks Walawaani Njindiwan Njin Booderee | Welcome everyone, this is Booderee Booderee National Park is home to the Bhewerre People. Booderee means bay of plenty in the Dhurga language. We are proud to share our culture and country with you as it holds the evidence of our ancestry and with the wind, the water and all life reflected in the past, it is the home and spirit of our people. We are born of the land and have lived off the land forever. We are proud of this ongoing connection - passing on traditional knowledge of natural resources and ancestral and creation stories through each generation. Our people use the bush as a natural classroom for teaching, collecting foods and medicines, learning stories and interpreting indicators of seasonal and climatic change. Booderee National Park is located on the south-east coast of Australia, within the Jervis Bay Territory. It comprises most of the Bhewerre Peninsula on the southern side of Jervis Bay and St Georges Basin and includes part of the waters of Jervis Bay. The park itself covers an area of 6,379 hectares which includes 875 hectares of marine environment and the Booderee Botanic Gardens that stretches across 80 hectares of the park. Booderee National Park lies in the southern portion of the Sydney Basin Bioregion. The park protects coastal dune systems and their associated habitats which are otherwise disturbed or potentially threatened in the bioregion. The area is scientifically valuable as it has not undergone the degradation that similar coastal sites have suffered (such as coastal sites surrounding Sydney). The park and the Botanic Gardens were proclaimed under the National Parks and Wildlife Conservation Act 1975 (Parks Act) as the Jervis Bay National Park and as the Jervis Bay component of the Australian National Botanic Gardens in 1992 and 1991 respectively. In May 2000 the Botanic Gardens were incorporated into the park. The park is deemed to have been declared for the following purposes: • the preservation of the area in its natural condition • the encouragement and regulation of the appropriate use, appreciation and enjoyment of the area by the public. In 1998, in recognition of the Aboriginal ownership of the park, the name of the park was amended by proclamation to Booderee National Park. ii Booderee National Park 1. Aboriginal Cultural Values: The park is the traditional home of the Bhewerre people, containing cultural sites, special places and artefacts that are a record of the traditional owners’ ancestry and is a place where traditional skills, knowledge and cultural practices can be passed on to future generations. • The park is home to the Bhewerre People, a place where traditional skills, knowledge and cultural practices can be passed on to future generations. • The Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council, through its Vision Statement and goals, supports Wreck Bay Aboriginal People in their aims to become self-sufficient and to determine their future and lifestyle. • The park provides opportunities for Bhewerre People to apply traditional land management knowledge and practices and to support and maintain cultural knowledge. • The park contains cultural sites which demonstrate Aboriginal occupation and use of the land over time include shell middens, rock shelters, burial sites, ceremonial grounds, stone flaking sites, axe grinding grooves and scarred trees, as well as less tangible sites associated with traditional culture, history and practices. 2. Post-Colonial Cultural Values: The park protects a range of historic sites and artefacts that tell the story of the region‘s post colonial history. • The park contains a number of shared heritage sites including the ruins of the Cape St George lighthouse, Christians Minde cemetery, and archaeological evidence of a camp used by survivors of the wreck of the Hive convict ship and gun emplacements and associated infrastructure on Bowen Island. 3. Natural Values: The park protects coastal dune systems, their associated habitats and unique biodiversity which are otherwise disturbed or potentially threatened in the bioregion. • The park protects a number of significant listed species, recognised under the EPBC Act and neighbouring New South Wales legislation, including: - grey-headed flying fox (Pteropus poliocephalus) - eastern bristlebird (Dasyornis brachypterus) - pied oystercatcher (Haematopus longirostris) - swift parrot (Lathamus discolour) - barking owl (Ninox connivens) - grey nurse shark (Carcharias Taurus) - Gould’s petrel (Pterodroma leucoptera leucoptera) - albatross and marine turtles • The relatively undisturbed habitat of the park provides habitat for other key species such as the little penguin, sea eagle and powerful owl, and is a type locality for many marine invertebrates. Management Plan 2015-2025 iii Natural Values - Continued: • The park contains a diverse range of well-preserved coastal plant communities including remnant rainforest, heath communities, woodland and coastal littoral communities. • The park is considered a population reservoir for many species across the wider region, home to a diverse range of fauna, including more than 30 native terrestrial and marine mammal species and around 200 bird species. • The park supports a diverse range of marine habitats including the intertidal zone, extensive areas of seagrass, sandy bottom habitat and subtidal rocky reef, vital for the conservation of marine species in the bioregion. • The living collection of Booderee Botanic Garden contains open ground plantings of some 1,200 taxa, concentrating on species of the coastal regions of south-eastern Australia, including plants and themes of cultural significance to local Aboriginal people. As a result of these values, the park is of great economic, social and research significance to the community and the region. National Listings In 2004, a number of sites in or including the park were listed as places in the Commonwealth Heritage List established under the EPBC Act: • Cape St George Lighthouse Ruins and Curtilage for historical importance to maritime navigation history. • Booderee Botanic Gardens for its importance to the traditional owners who have strong cultural and traditional ties to the area and as an important example of mid- twentieth century botanic gardens established to display native plants. • The wider area of Jervis Bay Territory in recognition of its outstanding landscape features, its diversity of flora, fauna and archaeological sites and its value to past and present communities for recreational activities. iv Booderee National Park Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council Vision Statement Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council seeks to be a respected equal and valued part of a culturally diverse Australian society. By controlling and managing its own lands and waters, the Community aims to become self sufficient and able to freely determine its future and lifestyle. The Community desires to do this by protecting its interests and values while preserving for future generations, its unique identity, heritage and culture. To achieve this vision Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council’s Goals are: • Sole ownership of all lands and waters within the Jervis Bay Territory.
