A visit to the Jellurgal Aboriginal Cultural Centre

Im always fascinated by Aboriginal culture and this visit was very informative!
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.

Southbank

I have always heard about this place but to actually see and experience this place just feels so right. Southbank is just right in the city of Brisbane. It is just outside the Griffith University campus in Brisbane so as soon as class ends, you just walk out and then you are already on the part of the stretch that is Soutbank. I noticed that it is really a peaceful place to walk, run or exercise.

People ride, walk or jog along the bank of Brisbane River
