"I wanted to be out on Country more. I feel it's good for your soul. And I also feel it's up to us young guys to step up and do what our Elders once did."

Malgana [[Mul-guh-nuh]] woman Neilisha Oakley has been working as a ranger for two years in the world heritage-protected Shark Bay, 800 kilometres north of Perth.

"So we do lots of fauna and flora. Eradication of feral animals. I do lots of camera monitoring and data. Lots of fencing. And I also get to jump on board with the ERP, which is the Ecological Restoration Program over at Dirk Hartog Island. And I've done a bit of work with the marine community down in Kensington and a few of the scientists over there as well."
