Welcome to the Gangulu Nation website

The Gangulu Nation is a First Nations people of Central Queensland, with Country extending across the Dawson and Callide Valleys, southwest of Rockhampton. Key towns within or near this area include Mount Morgan, Baralaba, Banana, Biloela and Theodore. Gangulu Country is deeply connected to its people through enduring cultural, spiritual and ancestral ties that have been maintained across generations. Robert Kerry Toby's traditional welcome which belongs to the descendants of Robert Henry Toby explores the Gangulu pillars and how the hold up the Gangulu sky - this is the songline of Robert Henry's children, grandchildren, and the next 14 generations. These pillars are sacred and should we choose to share this with you we ask you help hold and protect our Gangulu traditional knowledge.
