We, the Butchulla people, acknowledge the land on which the Brolga Theatre stands, as a place where cultures are shared, stories told, songs sung, and dances performed on Butchulla Country (land, sea and sky).
This land is part of our traditional Country, home to the Butchulla First Nations people, stretching across the Fraser Coast, including Moonaboola (Mary River), a lifeblood of the land that continues to connect us across generations.
For thousands of years, our people have followed songlines that connect the land, river, and sea—living pathways that ensure the continuation of our culture. These songlines are etched in the land, sung in the winds, and carried through the river, guiding us through life and on Country (land, sea and sky).
The Brolga Theatre serves as a space where the community can gather, much like our people have done for generations. It is here that stories are shared, cultures celebrated, and connections made, creating a vibrant fabric of voices and experiences.
We are honoured that this space continues to be a place where the spirits of our ancestors and the future of our people can meet and make special events happen.
May the Brolga Theatre remain a place of connection, creativity, and cultural exchange, where all people come together to create a deep sense of community that binds us all.
