Ranger Roy Parry looking out over the Daly River Region brings back strong memories to me. It was one of the first times that I was taken outside of the Wudikapildiyerr community to be shown the surrounding countryside by a traditional owner. On this particular morning Roy and I set out early in the morning to watch the sunrise over the country which Roy spent most of his time caring for with his other Ranger colleagues. The pride Roy displayed whilst pointing out different landmarks and carefully explaining the relevance of each one of these places to both him and his community, I found to be a truly moving experience, one that allowed me to feel for just a moment the strong connection between country and cultural identity. The passing on of traditional cultural knowledge was very intimately related to experiencing the country first hand. In the past this was an essential process of passing on cultural knowledge for the development of cultural pride and identity.,
