ACKNOWLEDGMENT                                                    of country
Acknowledgement of Country: “Tourism Noosa acknowledges the ongoing connection
to country of the traditional custodians of this beautiful region, the Kabi Kabi people.
Visitors to Noosa can enhance their experience by learning about the region’s con-
nection to the people and stories of the Kabi Kabi. We pay our respect to elders past,
present and emerging.”

The Indigenous people of Australia have a rich culture stretching back at least 50,000
years, making it the oldest living culture on Earth.

Every part of Australia is Aboriginal country and every part of that country has stories
and experiences that are unique to that place. What connects all Indigenous people
is a strong connection to their natural environment, landscapes and past and future
generations.

Noosa is home to the Kabi Kabi people whose land stretches roughly 100km south and
150km north of Noosa. It is important that we all pay our respects to the traditional
owners of this land – past, present and future – and their rich history.
