A Welcome to Country is a traditional ceremony performed at gatherings by a local clansperson to welcome visitors to the land. In the absence of a clansperson, the ceremony is performed by a tribesperson (a clan is a subgroup of a tribe). In accordance with Traditional Laws and Customs, we—as the sole Traditional Owners and Custodians of Brisbane—are the only group who can rightfully perform Welcome to Countries across Brisbane. This is due to our bloodline connection to the area. Official historical records confirm that the Turrbal people were the only Traditional Owner group in Brisbane at the earliest arrival of British settlers. These official historical records make reference to the Turrbal people being on the verge of extinction in the early 1860s after the widespread massacres. Thankfully, there were survivors and our tribe still exists today—albeit in small numbers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e9f2b993c20f44fe4a0a33/1659499211127-H0PIWTMBSY6C5GRUSWPW/Welcome2+%28Large%29.jpg Welcome to Country Ceremony - Songwoman Maroochy Barambah Maroochy Barambah is an Aboriginal Elder from Brisbane, Australia. She is of Turrbal and Gubbi Gubbi ancestry with additional bloodline connections to Wakka Wakka, Kamilaroi and Birri Gubba Country. Maroochy was born on Cherbourg Aboriginal Reserve in South East Queensland. She is the Songwoman and Law-woman of the Turrbal Tribe. Maroochy attended the Melba Conservatorium of Music in Melbourne and the Victorian College of the Arts where she graduated in Dramatic Arts. Maroochy has had extensive involvement in the Aboriginal community over the last 5 decades. She has delivered several lectures on Aboriginal culture at various institutions and was a keynote speaker at the Australian Reconciliation Convention in Melbourne. In 1989, Maroochy made her operatic debut playing the lead role in Black River where she became the first Aboriginal person to perform on the Australian operatic stage. Black River, which focuses on black deaths in custody, won the 1993 Grand Prix Opera Screen Award in Paris. Later in 1993, Maroochy became the first Australian to perform at the United Nations in New York in honour of the International Year for the World’s Indigenous Peoples. In 2014, she performed the traditional Welcome to Country Ceremony at the Brisbane G20 Summit with world leaders such as Barack Obama and David Cameron in attendance. Maroochy appeared in the Indigenous musical Bran Nue Dae, the television series Women of the Sun, and in the opera Beach Dreaming (written for and about her by Mark Isaacs). Maroochy also released two singles, one of which, Mongungi, reached the top 10 on the U.S. Billboard Dance chart. Maroochy has received many awards, both in Australia and overseas. She hopes to continue working in the area of the performing arts, while at the same time engendering a better understanding of Aboriginal culture. https://www.turrbal.com.au/contact daily 0.75 2022-10-23 https://www.turrbal.com.au/turrbal-dippil/school-incursions daily 0.75 2022-10-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e9f2b993c20f44fe4a0a33/1659499197762-00NCJ88A40COEA47QWXC/School.jpeg School Incursions - Sharing knowledge with future generations We have extensive experience in delivering high-quality School Programs.

Given the Turrbal Tribe’s small numbers, we partner with neighbouring tribes in providing performers. Through these partnerships, we can showcase talent and provide opportunities to the broader Aboriginal community.

We have immense experience with providing culturally appropriate artwork and names for different purposes. For art, we act as a platform providing opportunities not just for Turrbal people, but also for the broader Aboriginal community. As for language, we are extremely fortunate to have had our Turrbal language documented in the 1850s and to therefore still have it intact today.

We do this by surveying sites to identify the presence of Aboriginal cultural heritage. Following this, we evaluate the nature and significance of the findings. This heritage comes in various forms such as objects (i.e. artefacts and remains) and places of spiritual significance (i.e. burial sites and sites on songlines or dreaming tracks). The purpose of these activities is to ensure the protection and preservation of Aboriginal cultural heritage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e9f2b993c20f44fe4a0a33/1659499200955-8KVGYJLPDR1QQ3MRJ807/1555390897732.jfif Cultural Heritage Assessments https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e9f2b993c20f44fe4a0a33/1659499200960-8MCEU00DMBF2UGFLY148/DBC.jpg Cultural Heritage Assessments https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e9f2b993c20f44fe4a0a33/1659499200964-9Y7MAERZT7HU1MQKK2AX/LL_Logo_02.png Cultural Heritage Assessments https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e9f2b993c20f44fe4a0a33/1659499200968-YENB7P3VFLQB86FC9QK7/Buyers-Agent-Moreton-Bay-Regional-Council.png Cultural Heritage Assessments https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e9f2b993c20f44fe4a0a33/1659499200972-VVCFJIZRTCQTOYH6PJCP/DRTMR.png Cultural Heritage Assessments https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e9f2b993c20f44fe4a0a33/1659499200978-D5K0MFADJ09HNF3VMMW4/SEQWater_ST_RGB_72.jpg Cultural Heritage Assessments https://www.turrbal.com.au/our-story daily 0.75 2022-08-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e9f2b993c20f44fe4a0a33/1659499205382-XRMSY1KJZD7ZF9XYLQQX/SEQ+Tribe+Map+v1.10++alternative.jpg Our Story Source: 'Map 3.19: Language-territories of South-East Queensland', p. 138, Turrbal Anthropological Assessment, Gaynor MacDonald https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e9f2b993c20f44fe4a0a33/1659499205388-PTK19SJYPWX563HP7SGD/shutterstock_1648664485+%28Large%29.jpg Our Story Today, there are under 50 surviving members of the Turrbal Tribe (we were previously a tribe of 3,000+ before the widespread massacres). It must be noted that in historical times, Aboriginal people of Queensland were categorised into two groups: 1) Exempted - to fall in this category one had to give up their Aboriginality and their association with the Aboriginal community under Queensland state law 2) Non-Exempted - those falling in this category were put on Aboriginal reserves where they were encouraged, to a certain extent, to preserve their culture We, the modern day Turrbals are reserve Aboriginals and never signed away our Aboriginality. https://www.turrbal.com.au/native-title daily 0.75 2022-08-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e9f2b993c20f44fe4a0a33/1659499208375-VFRZD8GTRSDQ2ORYRR2D/IMG_1212.JPG Native Title https://www.turrbal.com.au/turrbal-dippil daily 0.75 2024-07-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e9f2b993c20f44fe4a0a33/2b7fc754-8070-4c6b-8a57-ba6dba77a957/shutterstock_1384429946+%28Large%29.jpg Turrbal Dippil WHO WE ARE Founded by members of the Turrbal Tribe, Turrbal Dippil provides Welcome to Country Ceremonies, Aboriginal Performances, Cultural Heritage Services, Cultural Awareness Trainings, School Programs, Language & Art services, and more across Brisbane.
