A TRACKS Graduate Story | Colin Ahoy Jr
A Passion for Culture and Archeology
In 2018, during a heritage survey for a proposed Solar farm near Uralla, a team including Colin Ahoy Jnr, re-discovered a major Aboriginal axe grinding site. Colin says “I feel like we need more Aboriginal people working on country and have the confidence and power to make decisions regarding culturally significant sites.” Colin Ahoy Jnr completed the TRACKS tertiarty preparation program run by the Oorala Aboriginal Centre at UNE and is now studying a Bachelor of Arts, Majoring in Archaeology.
