Clinton Walker
CEO and Founder
Ngurrangga Tours
Clinton, the CEO and Founder of Ngurrangga Tours, is a proud Ngarluma/Yindjibarndi man whose Traditional Lands encompass the West Pilbara region, including Karratha, Dampier Archipelago, Murujuga National Park, and Millstream-Chichester National Park.
From a young age, Clinton’s Elders instilled in him a deep love for Country, passing down traditional knowledge and cultural responsibilities. He speaks Ngarluma and Yindjibarndi languages, has been initiated into the Birdarra Aboriginal Law Ceremony, and is dedicated to caring for his Ngurra (Country).
Driven by a passion to share his culture, Clinton founded Ngurrangga Tours to offer visitors an authentic experience of the Pilbara through the eyes of a Traditional Owner. He is particularly committed to raising awareness of the Burrup Peninsula in Murujuga National Park, one of Australia’s most significant heritage sites.
