COUNTRY
Before roads, bridges and parks, this coastline was—and remains—Country: a place of culture, community, knowledge and belonging.WE PLAY
BESIDE WATERS
WITH A DEEPER STORY.
Aqua Warrior acknowledges the Gubbi Gubbi (Kabi Kabi) and Ningy Ningy peoples, who are identified by the City of Moreton Bay as the First Nations peoples of the Redcliffe Peninsula. We recognise their continuing connection to Country, including the lands, coastline and waters around Clontarf, and pay our respects to Elders past and present.
LAND.
WATER.
PEOPLE.
MORE THAN A PLACE
Country holds relationships between people, land, water, culture and knowledge. Connection to this peninsula did not end with European settlement—it continues today.
LIFE BESIDE THE BAY
Public local histories describe the waters and shoreline of the Redcliffe Peninsula as places where food and resources were gathered and knowledge was passed between generations.
A LIVING HERITAGE
Culture is not only history. First Nations communities continue to care for Country, maintain cultural identity and contribute to the life of this region.
STORIES REMAIN
IN THE LANDSCAPE.
Local place histories record sites of ceremony and spiritual significance across the peninsula. The name Kippa-Ring is connected with a ceremonial bora ring where neighbouring groups gathered for important rituals.
The City of Moreton Bay also records Kurbingaibah as a place of cultural and spiritual significance to the Ningy Ningy people.
These are not attractions or stories for us to claim. They are reminders that this is an ancient cultural landscape deserving care, respect and thoughtful behaviour.
HOW WE SHOW RESPECT
