We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the Country on which we work, live and play across Bundaberg and the North Burnett, Taribelang Bunda, Gooreng Gooreng, Gurang, Bailai and the Wakka Wakka and Auburn Hawkwood (Wulli Wulli) People as the Traditional Custodians of the precious land, water and sea country on which we all love to work, live and play.

We recognise the thousands of generations of continuous culture that have shaped this country and the people on it.

And we pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging and look forward to working with all First Nations People in the Bundaberg and North Burnett regions in sharing culture through tourism, in the spirit of mutual respect and reconciliation.
