The Martuwarra - the mighty Fitzroy River - in Australia’s North Kimberley, is National Heritage listed.

By utilising the River as a connective thread, the ‘Living Water Heritage’ project intricately weaves together all 11 recognised National heritage values of Australia’s West Kimberley region.

Its globally unique waterways, plants, animals, rocks, and fire, carefully managed from the beginning are now becoming illuminated by Western Science.
