Good afternoon, and welcome back to Clever man on ABC2. I am Marguerite Kavvalos and today the crew and I will be visiting Ku Ring Gai National Park. Ku Ring Gai National Park is home to many Aboriginal engravings, flora, fauna and amazing views.
First of all, i would like to talk about the Aboriginal way of life when they first arrived here in Australia. The Aboriginals always looked after themselves, their family and their tribe. To make sure there was enough food for everyone, they would always split up their food and share it amongst others. The Aboriginal people tended to make sure that there food wouldn't become extinct. By doing this they left signs of the food they ate, for example shells of oysters, so the other tribes wouldn't eat …show more content…
The engravings need to be protected and not damaged. Everyone that visits the site needs to make sure not to wreck, touch anything that doesn't belong to you and not to step inside the boundaries of the engravings with shoes on as it could wreck the engravings and make the colour lighter. It's also important not to take anything from the National Park without any permission from the National Park Council and tour guides.
One of the conservation strategies the Aboriginal people are involved in is, being a tour guide. This job is to educate the students that come to the National Park and teach them about their Ancestors lifestyle and to talk briefly about the engravings. The information they provide is very effective and you would definitely learn about them, through stories that they tell, the engravings and the tools and weapons that they showed which are used to catch food.
Overall, Kur Ring Gai National Park is a wonderful and educational place to learn about the Aboriginals way of life and what they did to protect their sacred land and their food. Hope to catch you next time on Clever Man on
