This paper documents an historic multi-party visit to Nabarlek Uranium Mine in the Northern Territory in 2023 aimed at facilitating knowledge exchange around closure at multiple levels, including between Aboriginal landowning groups, Indigenous knowledge holders and western ecologists, and air comparisons between experiences at Nabarlek and Ranger mines. It is written from the standpoint of university researchers interested in mine closure on the Indigenous estate who were invited to attend the trip as passive observers. The paper and CSRM’s participation was funded by ERA Ltd.
