General information

Saltwater Country is a multifaceted Indigenous lead organisation that builds on the symbolic power of the Aboriginal cowboy in remote Australia. A position of strength, where the freedom of the cowboy became the freedom of Aboriginal people and our communities to find our own way. To this day Aboriginal people maintain a living and working connection to the pastoral & rodeo ways of life whilst maintaining a connection to country and culture. Saltwater Country Inc. is born out of the red dirt and sweat that is synonymous with living and breathing the land in the Kimberley. It celebrates a lifestyle that strives to maintain a connection to the land by engaging all generations and community members. Saltwater Country is committed to using a strength-based approach to create a rite of passage for Aboriginal people to train, work and compete together showing the world what we can do. We are especially committed to helping our young people to be their best selves in a culturally appropriate and relevant way…on our terms. We are working towards providing direct training and employment opportunities as well as building content for the Saltwater Academy including partnerships for Equine Assisted Learning & diversionary programs for disengaged community members. Giving at-risk youth an alternative way of being involved in life, learning life skills on country and become re-engaged in the world around them. Training & employment based on experiential learning and genuine Aboriginal lead outcomes.
