Servicing our traditional homelands of Southeast Queensland and Northeast New South Wales

We are a local Aboriginal family offering various cultural learning experiences, excursions, cultural learning visits, cultural camps, staff cultural awareness training and many other Aboriginal cultural services. With a diverse range of traditional knowledge and skill sets, we have over 25 years’ experience facilitating educational cultural visits to schools, early learning centres, businesses, NGO’s, health and community organisation’s, local youth groups, mens and womens groups and Government Departments.

We are based in Southeast Queensland, we service our traditonal homelands of Southeast Queensland and Northeast New South Wales.

We do visit other states upon request, if agreed upon by local Traditonal Owners and or Aboriginal community groups. All of our travel, accomadation, food, other expenses and subsequent professional fees must be paid for in advance.

Our cultural immersions and experiences are interactive and designed to help participants develop a deeper understanding of Aboriginal culture and connection to country in a hands on learning environment. 

We work with all types of organisations including education, government, corporate and non profit to create tailored cultural experiences including cultural immersion activities and workshops.

Our Aim:

  • Share our cultural knowledge both traditional and contemporary.

  • Share our stories, songs, dances, language, ways of learning and skills.

  • We aim to foster inclusivity and connectedness to culture and the school envoironment.

  • To nurture students voice, agency and participation.

  • Build on Teacher and Students Aboriginal knowledge base.

Warning: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people should use caution visiting certain pages on this website as it contains images of Elders and others that have now passed away. We remember them as the great people that they were, they shall always stay forever in our loving memory.
