Description
Jellurgal is the Gold Coast’s only dedicated Aboriginal cultural centre, offering guided walking tours, an Aboriginal art gallery, historical boardwalk display and gift shop.
On our tours of Burleigh Head National Park (which we call Jellurgal), visitors hear Dreaming stories, discover facts about traditional life, bush tucker, fishing and hunting and learn about the important ecological practices and connection to the land displayed by the Yugambeh speaking people for thousands of years.
At Jellurgal Aboriginal Cultural Centre we aim to ensure everyone’s visit is as enjoyable as possible. We are committed to providing suitable access for all our guests, whatever their individual needs.
