“…As Cronon argues, and numerous ecocritics and environmental historians have shown in case studies, the nineteenth century marked a convergence of a reframing of wilderness from wasteland to something sacred, and of urbanites' desire to find or create spaces uncontaminated by the effects of early modernity (cf. Byerly 1996, Spence 1996, Kerbs & Reulecke 1998, DeLuca & Demo 2001, Sayre 2001, Merchant 2003, Coates 2005, West & Igoe & Brockington 2006, and Young 2010).

“…Understanding the Ord River as one such water place, and recognising its embedded history of colonisation as a form of environmental injustice (Merchant ), I first define Indigenous water values for the Ord before exploring the possibility of co‐recognition of environmental and Indigenous water values. Introducing these notions, I quote from an interview I did with a traditional owner in Kununurra, the largest town in the Ord catchment, shown in Figure , with a population fluctuating from approximately 5000 to 7000 people seasonally.…”
