Jellurgal Aboriginal Cultural Centre is based at the foot of Burleigh Headland National Park in Burleigh Heads on the Gold Coast, alongside pristine Tallebudgera Creek.
We first visited the centre building where they gave us a talk on the history, peoples, art & craft and cultural activities of those who had inhibited the Gold Coast area long before it became a city like what it is today. We were fascinated by their stories and then they performed traditional dances showing times and seasons, animals, journeys and many more.
After this session, we went on a walk along the Centre's footpath. It was enjoyable to see birds, smell the sea, meet other walkers and experience the lifestyle of those who had come to love this place.
