The Bundjalung people are the original custodians of the northern coastal areas of New South Wales. This area continues to hold special significance for the Bundjalung people. One of the key cultural sites is Nimbin Rocks, which was once used as an initiation ground for their young boys.
Nimbin Rocks are part of an ancient, eroded volcanic dyke and located just south of the Nimbin township. It is the home of a number of threatened or vulnerable flora as well as being an important habitat for the glossy black cockatoo. The Ngulingah Nimbin Rock Rangers protect and restore the environmental health on the two properties (approximately 119 hectares) that surround this important cultural site.
The rangers also collect seeds, propagate and revegetate native plants suitable for bush food or other traditional uses. These plant species feature in a demonstration site to share cultural knowledge amongst the community.
