Welcome to Wakka Wakka Country
"I am a very proud and humble Wakka Wakka man. I am always honoured to welcome everyone
to the ancestral land of my people. I know that we live in a very interesting time, however the one constant for me has been the power of this land. We are extremely privileged not only to live in this area, but also to be connected to the land of the Wakka Wakka people. I ask the spirit of my ancestors to watch over everybody on Wakka Wakka and keep all of us as safe as possible. My final wish is that all visitors to our area will be like an ‘old boomerang’ and keep returning to our beautiful region."
