Vivienne, Regina and Heather fought a long battle to protect their community’s culture and oppose a nuclear waste facility being situated on their traditional lands in the Flinders Ranges. The Seven Sisters songline, one of the most significant creation tracks in Australia, runs near the site. In 2020 their tireless efforts succeeded, and a different site was selected. The women are now advocating to ensure Adnyamathanha people are consulted on matters related to their land during mining processes.
