<p>The Gooniyandi Ranger Coordinator coordinates the operational delivery of the Men's Gooniyandi ranger program. This involves providing strong leadership to a small team of Indigenous rangers to deliver on their annual works plan, as set by Gooniyandi traditional owners.</p>
<p>The works plan is made up of a diverse range of cultural and natural resource management activities, including fire management, threatened and pest species management, preservation of cultural sites, on country trips with senior traditional owners, engagement with the local school and much more.

<p>Gooniyandi country comprises stunning tablelands, gorges and ravines, floodplains and spinifex grasslands. The area has a rich biodiversity including Freshwater Crocodiles, Barramundi, Black-footed Rock wallaby, Bilbies and many others.
