The Budj Bim landscape in Victoria's south-west was carved by a lava flow that created wetlands and provided the Gunditjmara people an opportunity to settle and develop a unique eel and fish farming operation thousands of years ago. It is listed on the National Heritage List for its Indigenous values. The area supports a number of threatened plant and animal species. The area is owned and managed by the Winda Mara Aboriginal Corporation on behalf of the Gunditjmara people. Through the Working on Country contract, the Corporation will employ Indigenous people to provide a range of environmental services that include revegetation; weed and pest mapping and control; and protecting heritage sites.
