    A Appendix A: Committee visits to remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait communities As part of the Committee’s inquiry into remote Indigenous community stores the Committee visited seventeen communities, all of which had a distinctive culture, history and identity. The Committee began its community visits on 30 March 2009 travelling to the Torres Strait and the Cape York Peninsula in Queensland over four days. In late April the Committee visited communities in Central Australia over a three day period. Final consultations were held in Broome, Darwin and various remote regions in the Northern Territory including North West Arnhem Land. These visits took place in July over a five day period. At each location the Committee held a public meeting followed by an open forum. These meetings demonstrated to the Committee the importance of the store in remote community life. The Committee appreciated the generous hospitality and evidence provided to the Committee by traditional owners and elders, clans and families in all the remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait communities visited during the inquiry. The Committee would also like to thank everyone who assisted with the administrative organisation of the Committee’s community visits including ICC managers, Torres Strait Councils, Government Business Managers and many others within the communities. A brief synopsis of each community visit is set out below.1 1 Where population figures are given, these are taken from a range of sources including 2006 Census data and Grants Commission figures. 158 EVERYBODY’S BUSINESS Torres Strait Islands The Torres Strait Islands (TSI), traditionally called Zenadth Kes, comprise 274 small islands in an area of 48 000 square kilometres (kms), from the tip of Cape York north to Papua New Guinea and Indonesia.

Over this time we have seen many visitors come to enjoy the park and learn about the cultural importance of this place. Many visitors have gone away knowing a little about Tjukurpa and Anangu connection to the land. Over the next 25 years the Anangu voice in tourism will become even stronger. Anangu will be working very closely with the tourism industry and working hard on developing our own tourism initiatives for the park. Tourism Directions: Stage 1 represents a turning point for tourism in the park. It shows that we Anangu are developing pathways for our children to have a strong future. And above all, it demonstrates that Tjukurpa will be heard in all aspects of tourism and that our culture will be promoted to the next generation visiting our country.

  • Living & Working Information
    LONGITUDE 131° LIVING & WORKING INFORMATION ESSENTIAL INFORMATION BAILLIE LODGES Baillie Lodges is a collection of three intimate luxury lodges offering unique Australian experiences. Spectacular locations combined with contemporary design, exceptional cuisine, first name service, all-inclusive tariffs and indulgent surrounds combine to deliver sophisticated and exclusive encounters with luxe appeal. Longitude 131° at Uluru-Kata Tjuta is the ultimate outback luxury experience. Southern Ocean Lodge on Kangaroo Island is globally celebrated and acclaimed. Capella Lodge on Lord Howe Island launched the portfolio and continues to capture guests in its magic. Baillie Lodges is a founding member of Luxury Lodges of Australia. LOCATION Longitude 131° (L131) overlooks Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park in the Northern Territory, 450km south west of Alice Springs. The lodge is approximately 15km from Uluru (Ayers Rock) and 5km from Ayers Rock Resort and the township of Yulara. CLIMATE Uluru has a dry, arid atmosphere with daytime temperatures varying from a hot 45°C in the summer months (December-March) to a cool 19°C in the winter months. Nights can be chilly, with temperatures as low as -2°C in winter. SUSTAINABILITY Baillie Lodges is committed to minimising our environmental footprint. Each of the guest tents has been carefully designed to have minimal impact on the delicate natural environment, standing lightly upon red sand dunes. Solar panels on each tent provide hot water heating, whilst a major solar installation at Ayers Rock Resort generates about 15 per cent of Yulara’s average energy use, reducing the reliance on fossil fuels. Other initiatives include separation of recyclable goods, the use of recycled water for gardens, using food compost from the kitchen on garden beds and growing a selection of fresh produce onsite to lesson our carbon footprint.

  • World Heritage Site 1
    World Heritage Site 1 This site is managed by both the national government of this country in the southern hemisphere and the native people who have lived here for thousands of years. Tidal plains, lowlands, plateaus, floodplains, rare species and ancient archaeological areas characterize this diverse site. Photograph by Sam Abell Photograph by Sam OCEANIA World Heritage Site 2 This natural marvel can be seen from space and is the world’s biggest single structure made by living organisms–coral! A biological hotspot, it is home to over 2,000 species of fish, coral, birds, and reptiles. The reef is under threat of climate change including rising air and water temperatures, which can result in a process known as coral bleaching. Overfishing has also led to an overabundance of coral’s predators. Satellite image courtesy NASA OCEANIA World Heritage Site 3 This more modern example of a World Heritage Site was completed in 1973, after 16 years of construction. The performance venue’s creative design and innovative use of engineering make it one of the greatest architectural achievements of the 20th century. Photograph by David Dudley, MyShot OCEANIA World Heritage Site 4 The archaeological remains of this Pacific island site provide information about the progression of agricultural practices over approximately 7,000-10,000 years.
