About Us

Yooribaya

Yooribaya means strong in the traditional language of the Ngaro People who have lived across the Whitsunday region including Airlie Beach and surrounding islands as well as the Gia People of the Proserpine area.

Connecting with nature is best experienced through the eyes of our Traditional Owners, who have used their knowledge of the land to survive and sustain for thousands of years.

As Traditional Owners of Ngaro & Gia Land & Seas, we aim to support and enrich the community with traditional knowledge shared through workshops, activities and networking.
