White Rock Cultural Connections

Acknowledgement of Country

Ipswich City Council respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Owners, the Jagera, Yuggera, and Ugarapul People of the Yugara/Yagara Language Group, as custodians of the land and waters we share. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present, as the keepers of the traditions, customs, cultures and stories of proud peoples.

Some material contains terms that reflect authors' views, or those of the period in which the material was written or recorded, but may not be considered appropriate today.

The White Rock area is culturally significant to the Traditional Owners of Ipswich. "Some of the sacred sites include White Rock, the caves and outcrop overhangs. Sacred sites are very important to the Traditional Owners as they provide a link between Country and personal identity and allow the passing on of cultural knowledge".
