Welcome to our team page, where you can get to know the fun-loving folks behind the scenes!
We believe that work should be enjoyable, so we've created a team culture that values creativity, collaboration, and of course, a good laugh.
Below you will find a collection of some of our Park Rangers who look after some of the most spectacular parks in the Territory.
We hope you enjoy getting to know some of your colleagues and check back often to meet more of the team.
Garig Gunak Barlu / Cobourg Peninsula National Park
Robbie and Dylan live and work at Garig Gunak Barlu / Cobourg Peninsula National Park and love what they do. On any given day they can greet visitors, remove ghost nets and conduct turtle surveys.
Dylan is a Traditional Owner and both Dylan and Robbie share their skills and knowledge to keep the Marine and National Park pristine.
Nitmiluk National Park
Phillip, Greg and Paul spend their days going out and making sure everything is in good working order and responding to different incidents throughout each day.
There are a lot of people that kayak in the Gorge so the rangers make sure to check the croc traps and floats every day for visitor safety. This includes making sure the visitors stay away from the beaches where there is a croc nest.
Visitor safety is a big part of their work and can involve rescues when visitors wander off the track or hurt themselves.
There are many things the ranger's love about working on park but one thing that brings great job satisfaction is being part of the conservation and preservation of a high value habitat in a class 1 biodiversity park.
Litchfield National Park
The ranger's do lots of different things throughout the day and make a plan to ensure all the visitor areas are clean and ready for the visitors. An important part of our job each day is making sure keep the swimming pools safe for swimming with trapping and removing the crocs.
Jamie reckons there is nothing bad about being a ranger in the NT. No two days are the same, you just go with the flow.
Watarrka National Park
You have to have a diverse skill set and every day is different. That’s what Damien loves about being a ranger in the NT.
He check the roster in the morning for what he could be doing which involves maintaining roads, fences, fire breaks, and patrols and checking for feral animals.
Rangers take great pride in the work they do and it is a great way to showcase how magical the place is.
Damien fell into being a ranger by accident.
Through his volunteering with SES, someone suggested he think about becoming a ranger, so he put in an application and he landed at Watarrka.
Tjoritja / West MacDonnell National Park
Rangering at Tjoritja is spectacular. Each day you prepare the best you can but some days you rock up to work and your colleagues are getting ready to jump into the helicopter and do some back burns on Mount Sonder.
Other days we do our general routine patrols and check for weeds, feral animals and participate in biodiversity surveys.
You have to be pretty versatile and a lot of the days go with checking and preparing vehicles, safety equipment, engaging with people walking the #larapintatrail and checking the food drops.
Anthony likes everything about being a ranger expect one thing… When it gets hot, he reckons everyone needs a fly mask!
Mary River National Park
In a high visitation parks you have a lot of things going on each day and some places can be hours away. So preparation is key. On any given day rangers can be weed spraying, prescribed burns, cleaning visitor amenities or be just having a chat with the park visitors.
It’s not a normal 9 to 5, they do a lot of work outside of hours but it just shows the dedication the rangers have for the park looking good and making sure everything is running right.
Judbarra National Park
Phillip’s day involves looking after the 13,000km2 including tracks and trails, removing noxious weeds from the #VicRiver and planning for the bushfire season. He loves looking after country and gets to check out the off-road tracks to camp on country. “It is magnificent”
