Mungalla Station, owned by Nywaigi Traditional Owners, is an 880-hectare property near Ingham in north Qld. The property is used for cattle grazing, ecotourism and programs to support Indigenous youth, and boasts extensive wetlands which are considered a nationally significant site for threatened birds. An earth wall (bund) was installed historically to convert coastal wetlands into ponded pastures, which are now full of invasive macrophytes. Greening Australia and James Cook University have been working closely with the Nywaigi Traditional Owners to reintroduce tidal flows via removal of a bund section of the bund wall to restore historic tidal flows and convert the weed infested ponded pastureland to a native salt-tolerant coastal wetland. Tidal reintroduction is expected to control weeds, facilitate the recolonisation of native salt-tolerant species, and support significant bird populations. Alongside these changes comes likely benefits to biodiversity and cultural wellbeing for the Nywaigi Traditional Owners. Following a rigorous co-design process, we will present expected outcomes from this project in the form of a series of ecosystem accounts that explore the benefits of restoration to nature and the cultural wellbeing of Traditional Owners, from the perspective of the Nywaigi people themselves.
