About – Mandandanji

Who Are the Mandandanji People?

The Mandandanji people are the Traditional Custodians of lands in southern Queensland, with a rich cultural heritage that spans thousands of years. Our people have maintained strong ties to this land, embodying traditions and values that honour the natural world, community, and shared history.

Connection to Country

For the Mandandanji, connection to Country is sacred and enduring. This relationship with the land, waters, and skies informs every part of our culture and identity. Country is not just a place; it is part of who we are, holding the stories, songs, and knowledge of our ancestors.
