“The heritage-listed homestead holds immense importance for the Puutu Kunti Kurrama and Pinikura (PKKP) people,” said Grant Wilson, PKKP Aboriginal Corporation CEO. “For generations, Nanutarra served as a birthplace and a central gathering place, solidifying our deep connection to the land.”
A Legacy Reclaimed
The PKKP people’s history with Nanutarra extends beyond cultural significance. Mr. Wilson emphasizes their crucial role in operating Nanutarra Station for many years, highlighting the profound connection between the community and the homestead.
Rejuvenating a Cultural Hub
