Arriving at the tidal wetlands of Mungalla Station on the coastline of northern Queensland, ornithologist Simon Kennedy from the not-for-profit BirdLife Australia is greeted by a welcome cacophony. 'You start hearing honks and quacks and twitters and noises coming from there,' he says of the area's diverse and thriving bird populations, 'whereas it's very quiet elsewhere.'
Working with scientists and environmental organizations, the Nywaigi people have since transformed Mungalla Station back into traditional saltwater wetlands, creating a haven for native plant and animal life-including huge saltwater crocodiles.
