PO Box 345 Nhulunbuy NT 0881 Australia Telephone: (08) 8939 2200 Facsimile: (08) 8987 2451 Email: [email protected] nhulunbuy corporation ABN: 57 009 596 598 8 February 2018 Dr Jane Thompson Committee Secretary Senate Standing Committees on Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport PO Box 6100 Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 Dear Dr Thomson, RE: The operation, regulation and funding of air routes service delivery to rural, regional and remote communities The Nhulunbuy Corporation Limited would like to thank the Senate Committee for the opportunity to provide a submission to the above-mentioned inquiry. The township of Nhulunbuy has a population of around 3,200 and is situated in East Arnhem Land on the north western tip of the Gulf of Carpentaria 600 kilometres due east of Darwin. It is considered a vital lifeline to the outer regions with respect to the provision of shopping, hospital and health care services. Each year during the monsoonal season road access between communities within the region are not accessible by road and residents of these communities become dependent on air travel to access their basic needs. Gove Airport is located 15 kilometres from Nhulunbuy and services the communities of Nhulunbuy, Yirrkala, Gunyangara and some 80 other communities within East Arnhem Land. It also provides residents and visitors of East Arnhem Land a link with interstate and international travel through the gateway airports of Cairns International and Darwin International. It is operated by the Nhulunbuy Corporation Limited under a Deed of Agreement with Rio Tinto Alcan. Because of its strategic position, Gove Airport is a nominated alternate aerodrome for certain domestic and international carriers when access to their planned destination airport is inaccessible due to inclement weather or technical issues. -

Dhupuma College Yearbook 1973.Pdf
YEAR BOOK 1973 Some of the walkers gathering at Gave Airport a little after dawn. DHUPUMA WALKATHON The Dhupuma Walkathon - 14 miles from Gove Airport to Wallaby Beach camp - was Dhupuma's first fund raising effort. Eighty-one walkers left the airport a little before 6.30 a.m. under very overcast conditions. The walkers were drenched by rain several times during their long hike, but this helped to keep all relatively cool and fresh. The aim was to cover as many sponsored miles as possible, rather than make a race of it. However, those keen to take line honours ran most of the way and the fourteen miles was covered in the time of 2 hours 18 minutes by Peter Darlison of Nhulunbuy Area School, closely followed by the first Dhupuma student, Rick Bayung, and several others. The slowest walkers took 4 hours and 20 minutes to cover the course, but these were three seven-year-olds, who did well to complete the walk. Only five walkers retired before the finish, and each of these covered more than eight miles. The main fund-raiser was Mr. Des O'Dowd, Gove Li cns Club representative @ $10 per mile plus several other sponsors. The leading fund-raiser from the Dhupuma students was Linda Galaway. The walkathon raised approximately $700 for the Dhupuma Social and Sporting Club Inc. and will be used to purchase recreation materials for the students' recreation rooms and dormitories. The only real damper on the day was the washout of the barbecue at Drimmie Head for walkers and their friends after the event. -

Appropriate Terminology, Indigenous Australian Peoples
General Information Folio 5: Appropriate Terminology, Indigenous Australian Peoples Information adapted from ‘Using the right words: appropriate as ‘peoples’, ‘nations’ or ‘language groups’. The nations of terminology for Indigenous Australian studies’ 1996 in Teaching Indigenous Australia were, and are, as separate as the nations the Teachers: Indigenous Australian Studies for Primary Pre-Service of Europe or Africa. Teacher Education. School of Teacher Education, University of New South Wales. The Aboriginal English words ‘blackfella’ and ‘whitefella’ are used by Indigenous Australian people all over the country — All staff and students of the University rely heavily on language some communities also use ‘yellafella’ and ‘coloured’. Although to exchange information and to communicate ideas. However, less appropriate, people should respect the acceptance and use language is also a vehicle for the expression of discrimination of these terms, and consult the local Indigenous community or and prejudice as our cultural values and attitudes are reflected Yunggorendi for further advice. in the structures and meanings of the language we use. This means that language cannot be regarded as a neutral or unproblematic medium, and can cause or reflect discrimination due to its intricate links with society and culture.

Indigenous Leadership and Customer Governance by Kado Muir
Draft Only, Not for comment or citation without authors permission A reflection on Indigenous Leadership and Customary Governance Kado Muir; Director of Walkatjurra Cultural Centre, Leonora and PhD student, Curtin University, WA. Abstract It is widely accepted that pre-contact Indigenous societies in Australia did not have instituted leadership. There were no kings, queens, chiefs or other formal leadership titles. Yet pre-contact societies did exist, these societies were fully functional in every respect and indeed developed a level of social sophistication and resource management unrivalled by today’s standards. It appears that Indigenous Australians developed a system of governance that did not require institutional leaders. It is also widely accepted that the years since contact has seen a massive decline in the ability of Indigenous Australian societies to articulate a system of governance to counteract the intrusive effects of colonisation. This is immediately apparent when one measures Indigenous Australia against indicators used for “Developed” Australia. In this discussion I would like to reflect on remnant pre-contact governance structures and offer a suggestion to Indigenous leaders to think and act beyond the confines of our colonial experience. I want Indigenous leaders to seek inspiration in their pre-contact past and to map out a future for their communities in a Globalised world not a parochial localised world. 1 Draft Only, Not for comment or citation without authors permission Wutayi.

Technology and Bilingual Education: Helping Yolŋu Students Crack the Alphabetic Code
Technology and Bilingual Education: Helping Yolŋu Students Crack the Alphabetic Code Gemma Alejandra Morales https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1123-0330 Ph.D. Arts Candidate October, 2018 School of Languages and Linguistics This thesis is being submitted in total fulfilment of the degree. ABSTRACT Phonological awareness and letter knowledge have a significant and causal relationship with early reading for readers of alphabetic languages. While the existing research regarding the emergent reading skills of mainstream Western populations is vast, little is known about the development of literacy skills among children coming from cultures transmitted primarily through oral tradition. This study examined the emergent literacy skills of students attending a remote bilingual Indigenous school in the Northern Territory, Australia. The study included all Transition (kindergarten) to Grade 4 students enrolled at the participating school. This thesis proposes that phonological awareness, letter knowledge, and early word reading are closely related for children learning to read in Dhuwaya and that phonological awareness training can facilitate the acquisition of early reading ability in Dhuwaya. A Dhuwaya language game-like iPad application software was used as a phonological awareness intervention tool. This Intervention App was specifically designed and created for this thesis project. The Intervention App includes 24 levels that progressively increase in difficulty. Each level consists of a sound segmentation activity, a letter knowledge activity, and a sound blending activity. Letter knowledge, phonological awareness (at both the syllable and phoneme level), and word recognition skills were measured at three separate testing times: immediately before the start of the intervention, immediately after the intervention ended, and six months after the intervention ended. -
Asymmetrical Distinctions in Waanyi Kinship Terminology1 Mary Laughren
12 Asymmetrical Distinctions in Waanyi Kinship Terminology1 Mary Laughren Introduction Background Waanyi2 kinship terms map onto an ‘Arandic’ system with distinct encoding of the four logical combinations of maternal and paternal relations in the ascending harmonic (‘grandparent’) generation: 1 Without the generous collaboration of the late Mr Roy Seccin Kamarrangi, who valiantly attempted to teach me Waanyi between 2000 and 2005, this study would not have begun. I also acknowledge the assistance received from the late Mr Eric King Balyarrinyi and his companions at the Doomadgee nursing home. I am indebted to Gavan Breen, who shared his Waanyi field notes and insights with me, and to John Dymock, who gave me copies of his vast corpus of Waanyi vocabulary. Thank you to the two anonymous reviewers, whose input to the development of this chapter was substantial, and to Barry Alpher, who provided invaluable feedback on an earlier draft. Errors of fact or interpretation remain my responsibility. The research on Waanyi was supported by a number of small ARC grants through the University of Queensland and the Waanyi Nation Aboriginal Corporation. 2 Waanyi was traditionally spoken in land watered by the upper branches of the Nicholson River and its tributaries, which straddles the Queensland–Northern Territory border to the south of the Gulf of Carpentaria (see Tindale 1974; Trigger 1982). The most closely related language is Garrwa (Breen 2003; Mushin 2012), spoken to the immediate north of Waanyi. The Garrwa-Waanyi language block lies between the northern and southern branches of the Warluwarric language group (Blake 1988, 1990) and is bordered on the east by the Tangkic language Yukulta, also called Ganggalida, (Keen 1983; Nancarrow et al.
