A Broome experience that will open your eyes to our Country and the world of the Yawuru people.
My name is Johani, I’m a proud Yawuru, Karrajarri, Nyul Nyul and Bard man and I was born and raised in Broome.
Besides leading tours for Mabu Buru Tours I’m also a Tour guide and Farm Hand at the Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Park. Prior to this, I worked as a Yawuru Country Manager Coordinator.
The Yawuru Country Managers are the Indigenous ranger group that are employed by Nyamba Buru Yawuru to look after Yawuru country on behalf of the Yawuru Nation, conducting a variety of on-country work which intcludes flora and fauna surveying and monitoring and research in both land and sea.
I am proud to share my knowledge of this country with visitors. To show you the wildlife and tell stories of the ancient, continuing connection that my people share with this land.
