This International Day of Climate Action, we’re celebrating our Jellurgal First Nations Rangers and the important work they do caring for Country at Burleigh Headland.

Grounded in generations of knowledge, culture and connection to Country, our Ranger Program brings Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to the forefront of protecting our natural and cultural environment.

Because caring for Country isn’t new. It’s knowledge that has been practised and passed down for thousands of years.

Today we had the privilege of welcoming a group of 20 visitors from Lifou Island, New Caledonia, including 13 Kanak Indigenous students who are on the Gold Coast as part of a cultural exchange experience.

As a gesture of friendship and culture sharing, they performed traditional Melanesian dances for Jellurgal staff and people in community attending Uncle John’s yarning circle.

Moments like these remind us that culture has the power to bring people together, creating meaningful connections through shared traditions, stories and respect. Thank you for sharing your culture with us 🙌🏽

First Nations slang can be a bit cheeky!

You may hear mob say 'You Lubly'. This term is just another way that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people call someone lovely in a teasing or affectionate way. It's commonly used in friendly banter.

We've created Mob Talk to help everyone understand Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander slang and terms because it's an important step towards acknowledging and appreciating our culture.

September is Biodiversity Month! 🍃 🐨 🐬 🌊 🦎

For more than 60,000 years, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have known that if we take care of Country, Country will take care of us.

This month is an important reminder that caring for, protecting, and respecting Country is everyone's responsibility.

Country supports our health and wellbeing, as well as our economy, so when Country is thriving, we can thrive too. Take some time this month to connect with and care for Country.

Whether it's as simple as picking up rubbish on your morning walk, reducing your waste and increasing your recycling, or joining a local guided tour to learn about Country and the species in your area, every action helps keep Country healthy.
