Summary
After a decades-long fight, over 247,000 hectares of Boodjamulla National Park in Queensland are officially returned to the Waanyi traditional owners — not just symbolically, but with equal management rights alongside the state. This landmark deal honors 30,000 years of Waanyi connection to the land, described by elders as the land “breathing again.” The journey included protests, negotiations, and formal talks since 2020, following the park’s transformation from cattle station to national park in 1984. Now, under a new lease model with shared funding and responsibility, visitors won’t notice day-to-day changes — but they’ll witness a powerful recognition of Aboriginal sovereignty, driven by the resilience of Waanyi ancestors who fought for this historic homecoming.
