Bald Hill, in the centre of Charles Sturt University's Wagga Wagga Campus, will become a future focus of traditional Aboriginal education and national reconciliation thanks to a community project led by the University.

Convened by CSU education lecturer Ray Petts, the Vision 2000 Reconciliation Steering Committee is overseeing the development of Bald Hill as a centre for knowledge, public awareness and education for Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians and a focus for reconciliation in regional Australia.

Members of the Wagga Wagga community can take part in clearing work around Bald Hill this Sunday 10 September, between 10am and 4pm, as part of the Vision 2000 project.

Over the last century, parts of Bald Hill were cleared of native vegetation for grazing and building. As part of "environmental reconciliation" and with assistance from Greening Australia, the site will be revegetated with species native to the region and a walkway, lookout and interpretation area developed at the summit.

"Through the Bald Hill development, the Vision 2000 committee aims to advance reconciliation and promote mutual respect and understanding between all Australian people, particularly in the Riverina region," Mr Petts said.

Dotted with granite formations and remnants of native vegetation, the site overlooks the floodplain of the Murrumbidgee River, which flows through the centre of the city of Wagga Wagga.

"The site has a serenity that invites respect and connection to the enduring spirit of the land," Mr Petts said.

This sense of peace and spirituality was endorsed by Chair of the national Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation, Dr Evelyn Scott, when she inspected the site with local Wiradjuri elders in May this year.

The Vision 2000 Reconciliation Steering Committee includes representatives from the local Wiradjuri Aboriginal elders, the Wiradjuri Lands Council, Greening Australia, Charles Sturt University and Wagga service and community groups.
