"In an open-air courtroom set up in a nature reserve in Western NSW, a
four-nation clan has secured one of the largest native title claims in the
region's history.
Far from the four walls and formalities of a federal courtroom, Justice Melissa
Perry delivered her determination at Newey Reserve in Cobar on Wednesday,
recognising the native title rights of the Ngemba, Ngiyampaa, Wangaaypuwan and
Wayilwan peoples.
The decision marks the successful end of a 12-year legal battle that began in
2012.
The claim covers more than 95,000 square kilometres of land and water from the
Barwon River in the north, to the Lachlan River in the south, the Castlereagh
River in the east and Ivanhoe to the west.
It recognises native title rights including the right to hunt, fish and gather
resources, the right to access and camp on land and right to protect places of
cultural and spiritual importance."
