Glenthorne National Park-Ityamaiitpinna Yarta proclamation commemorated



Glenthorne’s sta­tus as a nation­al parks is final­ly set in stone – quite literally.


An event was held in late Octo­ber 2021 to unveil the com­mem­o­ra­tive plaque sig­ni­fy­ing Glen­thorne Nation­al Park-Itya­mai­it­pin­na Yarta’s offi­cial proclamation.

The park was pro­claimed on 28 May 2020 at the height of the COVID-19 pan­dem­ic. With the restric­tions in place at that time, hold­ing an event to com­mem­o­rate the day was impossible. 

Bet­ter late than nev­er though – on 29 Octo­ber Min­is­ter for Envi­ron­ment and Water David Speirs gath­ered togeth­er with the Friends of Glen­thorne, Glen­thorne Part­ner­ship Group mem­bers and staff from Nation­al Parks and Wildlife Ser­vice to unveil the park and prop­er­ly cel­e­brate this impor­tant mile­stone in our park’s creation.
