Turrbal Tribe

The Traditional Owners and Custodians of Brisbane

The Turrbal Tribe comprises direct descendants of the original owners and custodians of Brisbane. These bloodlines link Turrbal peoples’ past, present and future to one another, with traditional customs and laws intact.

The beautiful ancestral homelands of the Turrbal Tribe stretch north from Elimbah Creek, south to the Logan River, and inland as far as Moggill.
