ABOUT THE ARTWORK
About the Artists - Violet Samson and Pansy Hicks
Violet is a Ngarluma person and was born on Cheeritha station in the
remote Pilbara. She started painting in 2007 and since this time has become
completely absorbed with painting stories that depict her country.
Pansy Hicks is a Ngarluma person and her country is Parrkapinya
(Whim Creek) in the Pilbara region. Pansy paints about her country (Ngurra)
and bush tucker (Thugurda).
“All about Roebourne”, Collaborative Canvas
by Pansy Hicks and Violet Samson
Violet: When our mother passed away we were at Cheeritha station
we were born there, all of us together, then we come into Roebourne
with our two brothers and we had to go live with different families...You
know...they had to rear us up. The old fellas, they couldn’t look after us.
I stayed at Mt Welcome with my aunty and Pansy stayed with lots of
different aunties.
Pansy: The last time I stayed with my aunty and I looked after my nieces
and nephew when my cousin’s sister passed away. We went to live
in the Old Reserve...there were six or seven government houses...not
much...You know some were just a humpy...That was the first home for
everybody together, people from Ngarluma, Yindjibarndi, Kurama and
Banjima...lived all together. We weren’t allowed to stay at the Cheeritha
Station. We had to go to families. Those old fellas couldn’t look after us.
Pansy: There was the Old Reserve and the racecourse...Everybody used
to go there and enjoy themselves...and there was, the first airport in
Roebourne, before Karratha. People used to get their fresh fruit and mail.
That plane was a DC3...Big and slow and silver.
Violet: There was the old cemetery...the first cemetery for the Aboriginal
people. We couldn’t go in the other one...that was only for the white
people. In Millstream before that, many, many years ago, we used
to bury our people in the sand or up in a tree and then burn the tree.
Before that caravan park was there, white people of the town used to
play cricket there. And those two houses were always there...in the
Old Reserve...We called ‘em ‘Marda-Marda Mia’...that means ‘Red
House’. Elsie used to live there. The little river...the kids used to go down
swimming there. I used to go there too and there was a track going to
the shop where that little bridge is now...over the Harding River.
Both Violet and Pansy share a close relationship and enjoy their time painting
with each other in Roebourne where they both reside.
Pansy: We’d go swimming and do our washing...we had no washing
machines in those days...We washed by hand with velvet soap. We
went to school from the Old Reserve...the school was in the Clerk of
Court...the courthouse. The white kids went to that other school...The
Yandina school and we went to the Clerk-of Court School...wasn’t fun...
We had a cupful of carnation milk for recess line up...they’d fill the cup
for us...We used to go play against the Yandina kids for sport. If we got
late for school we got the cane...if you play up, they whack you. If you
don’t give your hand they whack you in the leg.
Violet: We had films at the cinema in Roebourne...like that one in
Wickham now...we’d go every Saturday...Roy Rogers and that horse
called Trigger, Zorro and John Wayne...everyone enjoyed that. We lived
in the Old Reserve until we got married...we didn’t have a house, we
lived in a tent but it was good with your family and all your friends around
you...playing cards...cultural ceremonies fishing down the river. All before
‘The Free Right’ came.
Pansy: That was when Aboriginal people could go anywhere...before
that, they couldn’t...might ‘ave been 1968. People could go to the pubs
then and that was trouble for our people...domestic violence.
Violet: After that they moved us to the village into houses...that might
‘ave been 1975. That was the first house we had...I was the first one to
move there from the Old Reserve and Pansy moved next door to me.

Message from the CEO
I am pleased to present Woodside’s
second Reconciliation Action Plan
(RAP), the document that will
underpin our efforts over the next
five years to advance reconciliation
within our company and the wider
community.
In presenting this RAP, it gives me
great satisfaction to report that
Woodside has achieved much of what
it set out to do when launching the
inaugural RAP in 2010. We have met
or exceeded the vast majority of the
public commitments and measures
that we outlined 12 months ago.
Our achievements to date represent
just a small step on a long journey of
reconciliation for our company. We
have demonstrated in the 2010 RAP
Annual Report that we can deliver on
our commitments.
Now we must demonstrate that what
we are doing is effective in gaining
real outcomes over the longer term.
Whereas the inaugural RAP was
carried out over a 12 month period,
the second RAP will take place over
a five year timeframe from 2011 to
2015.
We view this as a significant stepping
up of our reconciliation commitments,
with a five year program allowing for
longer-term commitments, deeper
relationships with stakeholders and –
most importantly – better outcomes
for Indigenous communities.
The lifespan of the second RAP
coincides with an exciting period of
growth for Woodside.
It is important that this growth
coincides with improved outcomes
for Indigenous communities in the
regions in which we work, not least
through direct employment and
training opportunities provided by
Woodside.
Defining measurable goals in our
second RAP demonstrates that
Woodside takes commitments in this
area just as seriously as we do our
production and commercial targets.
Our people have accepted ownership
of the RAP and this provides me with
great confidence that we will continue
to deliver against our reconciliation
commitments.
I look forward to the second RAP
taking Woodside into a new era
of reconciliation that will enhance
our business and the lives of
those in our communities.

About Woodside
We are one of the world’s
leading producers of liquefied
natural gas (LNG), helping
meet the demand for cleaner
energy from Japan, China,
Korea and other countries in
the Asia Pacific region.
We aim to ensure that
wherever we operate, the
community benefits from
our presence.
Woodside is Australia’s largest independent dedicated oil
and gas company and the biggest operator of oil and gas
production in the country. Throughout our 57 year history we
have strived for excellence in our safety and environmental
performance and we aim to ensure that wherever we
operate, the community benefits from our presence.
Woodside produces around 700,000 barrels of oil equivalent
each day from an extensive portfolio of facilities, which we
operate on behalf of some of the world’s major oil and gas
companies. Our operated facilities include five liquefied
natural gas trains and three offshore platforms at the North
West Shelf and four oil floating production storage and
offloading vessels. When the Pluto LNG Project comes online
in 2012, we will operate an additional LNG train and offshore
platform. At full capacity, Pluto will add more than 100,000
barrels of oil equivalent a day to our operated production.
We have been operating our landmark Australian project, the
North West Shelf, for more than 25 years and it remains one
of the world’s premier LNG facilities.
The natural gas we produce and market helps meet the
demand for cleaner energy from our customers, including
Australia, Japan, China, Korea and other countries in the Asia
Pacific region.
We are seeking to expand the Pluto facilities and develop new
standalone projects including our Browse and Sunrise LNG
Developments.
Through the depth of our experience, the capability of
our people, and our strong relationships with customers,
co-venturers, governments and communities, we seek to be
the partner of choice.

Approach to delivery
The approach we take in delivering our RAP outcomes will in
many cases be as important as the outcomes themselves.
We are committed to demonstrating leadership.
The delivery of our RAP commitments will be underpinned by
collaboration with community, government and industry participants.
Best outcomes will be achieved through a grass roots and
Indigenous-led process.
We have established long term commitments to build community
wide relationships.
Our people will increase their understanding of Indigenous culture in
communities where we have a presence.
The lessons that we learn will assist to improve the delivery of our
RAP commitments.
Our vision for reconciliation
Our vision for reconciliation is to
walk alongside the local Indigenous
community in a relationship
of mutual respect, to provide
opportunities that contribute
towards the community’s aspiration
of a sustainable future. This is
Woodside’s contribution to closing
the unacceptable life-expectancy
and socio-economic gap between
Indigenous and non-Indigenous
Australians.

2011-2015 RAP
Woodside’s second RAP is a far-reaching document that
will underpin the Indigenous Affairs work of our business for
the next five years. It provides clear and realistic targets for
everyone in our company to contribute towards our approach
to reconciliation.
The five year timeframe of the second RAP allows for longer
term commitments, deeper relationships with partner
organisations and, most importantly, better outcomes for
Indigenous communities.
In our first RAP, we committed to taking action. In this RAP,
we are committing not just to action but also to results. As
such, every commitment in this RAP is now defined by a set
of measurable goals. This will ensure that we measure our
success by the outcomes of our efforts, not just the efforts
themselves.

To ensure alignment across the organisation, we have a
single set of Relationships and Respect commitments to be
implemented by everyone at Woodside.
Our commitments for Opportunities are outlined in three
separate sections, to be implemented through engagement
with Indigenous communities in each of our main areas of
operation: Perth (Head Office); the West Pilbara (North West
Shelf and Pluto LNG projects) and the Kimberley (Browse
LNG development). This allows us to develop and implement
specific and tailored measures to achieve meaningful
outcomes for Indigenous communities in these regions.
The staff with responsibility for implementing the RAP will be
joined by the new RAP Perspectives Group. This Group has
been selected from the membership base of the Woodside
Reconciliation Interest Group (RIG) and will participate in
structured workshops to have input into the Woodside 20112015 RAP.
Woodside’s achievements against our RAP commitments will
continue to be reported in a public Annual RAP Report each
year that will be hosted on the websites of Reconciliation
Australia and Woodside.

Opportunities for the Noongar Community Our Perth Office
Woodside has over 2000 staff working in Perth,
making us a significant local employer. Through this
local presence there is an opportunity to create a closer
connection between Woodside and the Noongar
community.
Several workshops in 2010 and 2011 involving
Woodside senior staff, a selection of our Noongar
employees and representatives of the South West
Aboriginal Land and Sea Council, set the guiding
principles and meaningful actions for strengthening
Woodside’s relationship with the Noongar Community.
Stronger connections with the local Noongar
community will help to create a sense of place for
17
Woodside employees. This is fitting as our head office
at Woodside Plaza is in close proximity to the Swan
River and Kings Park, which are significant areas for
Noongar people.
Through strong employee participation in Woodside’s
Reconciliation Interest Group (RIG), our staff will build
their knowledge of Noongar culture through talks with
Elders, heritage walking tours and volunteer activities.
Delivering against initiatives in our second RAP will
provide the foundation for the relationship between
Woodside and the Noongar community.

The West Pilbara is an established centre for Woodside
operations, being the location for the Woodsideoperated North West Shelf (NWS) Project and the
Pluto LNG Project.
Woodside is supporting programs in the West Pilbara
in the areas of education, training, employment,
business participation, governance, community
volunteering, youth, arts and community events.
Woodside understands that the best outcomes are
achieved through establishing long-lasting relationships
and working collaboratively with Indigenous
communities in a spirit of trust and respect.
Some of the community initiatives supported
through the NWS and Pluto LNG Projects include the
Warrgamugardi Yirdiyabura Project (Pathways to Work),
the Gumala Mirnuwarni Program (Coming Together
for Learning) and the Roebourne Arts Exhibition in
Perth each year. These programs provide support
to individuals and communities to access education,
employment and business opportunities.
Further opportunities are created through the
Conservation Agreement with the Commonwealth
Government, to protect, preserve and promote
the National Heritage Listed values of the Dampier
Archipelago (including the Burrup Peninsula).
Woodside has undertaken extensive consultation with
Indigenous stakeholders in the West Pilbara to ensure
the programs we support have been identified as
priorities for the community.

Supporting Indigenous participation in the Browse LNG Development.
Woodside 2011 - 2015 Reconciliation Action Plan
Opportunities with Kimberley Communities Browse LNG Development
Our second RAP coincides with the development
schedule for the Woodside-operated Browse LNG
Development (Browse) in the Kimberley region of
Western Australia.
Browse will be a greenfields project for Woodside
(subject to FID) and it provides us with an opportunity
to develop new relationships with Indigenous
communities in the Kimberley region.
As operator of Browse, Woodside has worked closely
with the Kimberley Land Council, Traditional Owners
and the broader Indigenous community to ensure that
our development brings real and lasting benefits for
Kimberley Aboriginal people.
Critical to the success of Browse are the Native Title
and Regional Benefits agreements with benefits linked
to the development schedule. These agreements
form the basis of our shared commitment with
Traditional Owners to provide real economic and social
development opportunities that will be available to all
Kimberley Indigenous people.
Our relationship with the Traditional Owners and the
Kimberley Land Council has been the starting point
for Woodside to engage more broadly with Kimberley
Indigenous people. These relationships have allowed
Woodside to develop new initiatives outside those
contained in the project’s Native Title agreements
that we hope will strengthen reconciliation within our
company and the wider community.
Woodside’s 2011-2015 RAP provides more detail
on how we will continue to support Indigenous
communities in the Kimberley region to achieve
a sustainable future. The opportunities within the
Kimberley are linked to project milestones. If there are
any changes to the Browse LNG Development this will
in turn affect the delivery of some opportunities.
