About this venue

The Adelaide Hills are traditional lands and waters of the Peramangk and Kaurna peoples. Council is committed to ensuring that Peramangk and Kaurna culture and traditions are sustained, valued and continuing for future generations to treasure. Council acknowledges that we undertake our business on the traditional lands and waters of the Peramangk and Kaurna peoples. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging as the Custodians of this ancient and beautiful land for they hold the memories, traditions, spiritual relationships, culture and hopes of the First Nations of Australia. We are committed to working together to ensure that Peramangk and Kaurna culture and traditions are sustained, valued and continuing. Together we will care for this country for the generations to come and in this context the decisions we make should be guided by the principle that nothing we do should decrease our children's ability to live on this land. For millennia Aboriginal peoples have called the area we now know as the Adelaide Hills home. Generations of people have lived in the area and made a life for themselves and their families. The hills provided shelter and sustenance to Aboriginal people and the land, and the resources it provided people, were carefully managed to ensure that the area could provide a living for generations to come. The Aboriginal peoples we now know as Peramangk and Kaurna called the Hills their home and their stories that have survived tell of the creation of the Hills and some of the geological features we are familiar with. There are numerous campsites, ceremonial sites, and burial sites throughout the hills. The Yurebulla story has the Peramangk as Border Watchers and Peacekeepers , although they were also known to be fierce warriors and possessed of strong magic.
