We are a local Aboriginal family offering various cultural learning experiences, excursions, cultural learning visits, cultural camps, staff cultural awareness training and many other Aboriginal cultural services.

My name is Paul Burragun (Uncle Boomerang) I am a local Aboriginal Cultural Facilitator Educator Artist Poet and Boomerang maker.   I was born in Brisbane in 1965. I am of mixed cultural heritage including Aboriginal from my mother’s side with direct descendance and family links to many southeast Queensland and northeastern NSW peoples including Yugambeh; Birrinburra; Turrbal; Yugerra; Bundjalung and Githabul.   My other heritage from both my mother’s and father’s sides come from Anglo Saxon heritage including English; Irish; Scottish and German. I am a bitsa, a mungrel dog. I acknowledge and are proud of all of my cultural heritages and blood lines. I know more about my Aboriginal cultural heritage and love sharing with students because I spent a lot of time with my grandfather, George Roberts-Burragun who was a Birrinburra man born on Yaegl land.

I believe that we should not let ourselves be ruled by or glued to tribalism of any sort. We are altogether the human tribe.‍ ‍
