Listen "Radiata Plateau becomes Ngula Bulgarabang"
Episode Synopsis
On Thursday, 25th June 2020 a few BMUC friends decided to go for a walk at Radiata Plateau. Who should we meet just as we arrived but our local NSW MP and BMUC member Trish Doyle MP?
Before we knew it we had the honour of witnessing the handover of Radiata Plateau to National Parks, as Trish asked us to delay our walk and wait for the NSW Minister for the Environment Matt Kean to arrive.
With the change from private ownership to public ownership came a name change. Radiata Plateau is now called Ngula Bulgarabang, meaning "very large wood forest".
The Blue Mountains Conservation Society have been campaigning for 30 years for the NSW government to purchase Ngula Bulgarabang for its inclusion in the Blue Mountains National Park. Their patient and persistent activism is inspiring.
Aunty Merle Williams and Aunty Sharyn Halls were there to welcome us to Country and had some very "interesting" things to say, particularly about Warragamba Dam and the importance of connections. We hope the Minister took note and will act on their advice!
We were so lucky to be there to record the event. This podcast has resulted from that meeting. You can also watch video of the event via our YouTube channel. We hope both become an important record of part of the Blue Mountains story. The Blue Mountains Gazette have spent many years documenting the Conservation Society's struggle and it was wonderful to see them there to record the achievement. Their work was acknowledged by Minister Kean.
We should also acknowledge the NSW Minister for the Environment, Matt Kean for making this happen. It's not often you'll see BMUC praise a Liberal so this may also be another historic event!
This episode was first broadcast on Radio Blue Mountains 89.1FM on 26th June 2020.
