Mayimba (Welcome) to Darumbal Country
Mayimbagu Darumbal Nunthi – Welcome to Darumbal Country. Darumbal is the name of the Aboriginal people who have lived in, and call this part of Central Queensland yaamba (home), for thousands of years. We come from thousands of generations of strong proud people. A physical, spiritual and emotional relationship, has existed between our country and ourselves from time immemorial. Today, we Darumbal people continue to practice our ancient culture and speak our language, which we now happily share with all others who also call this area Yaamba. Darumbal people are proud that they and other Indigenous people have worked hard in all different industries alongside non-Indigenous people to help make this place what it is today.
Yadaba wiyi binbigu yinhami narni gunhami wu mundarragu ngallirranga dabu nguga binbi narragu yirragu muli galagan. Please respect and be good to this country that gives life to us all, enjoy yourselves, and stay safe.
