Yindyamarra Aboriginal Services was created seven years ago by the late and great Aunty Rhonda Towney and her son, David ‘Croc’ Towney who both saw a dire need for food assistance in Peak Hill, a remote community based on Wiradjuri Country.

Aunty Rhonda was born in a tin shed out the back of Dubbo Hospital during a time when Aboriginal Women weren’t able to give birth within the hospital. The hardships and struggles Aunty Rhonda faced in life were a driving force behind her setting up Yindyamarra Aboriginal Services with her son David, in hopes of bettering the lives of others.

The highest human-occupied #Australian rock shelter from the Last Glacial Maximum, peak Ice Age 20,000 years ago.

'Archaeologists say the huge rock hollow was a camping spot “kind of like the Hyatt of the mountains”, occupied continuously until about 400 years ago.'
..
'The groundbreaking study, funded by the Australian Museum Foundation, was a collaboration between archaeologists and Aboriginal custodians who have spent six years mapping rock shelters across the greater Blue Mountains area, spanning 1m hectares of mostly untouched wilderness west of Sydney.

'Some sites are known only to a handful of Aboriginal people or intrepid bushwalkers. Others have only just been rediscovered.'
