The ancient art of welding learned at Charles Darwin University (CDU) is helping to build the independent skills capacity of First Nations Jawoyn communities on country spread across 50,000 square kilometres of Northern Australia.
Technical skills in welding have important applications across this vast, remote tract of Jawoyn country, which extends north-west from Katherine to Pine Creek, south to Mataranka, and north-east to Bulman, including southern parts of Kakadu National Park and Arnhem Land.
