We would like to acknowledge that we meet on the homelands of the Barapa Barapa people who are the Ongoing Custodians of this land. We pay respect to Elders past and present and emerging of the Barapa Barapa nation and extend that respect to other Aboriginal people or 'other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Barapa Barapa people have walked these lands for more than 60,000 years, cared for their Country and all that lays in it; its land, water, plants, and animals. Significant works have be achieved with Aboriginal Cultural Heritage sites and Natural Resource Management in the area.
Performing age old ceremonies passed down by our Ansestors to our Elders, respecting past, present and future, and how we connect to the lands, waters, plants, birds and anmials, and our connection to each other.
Barapa Barapa, within our tribal area, our Country is very diverse. Woodlands, forest, swamps, lakes, plains, granites, river and wetland systems were travelled and sustained in a way that allowed us to thrive seasonally and develop and maintain our lands.
