The Greater Whitsunday Alliance team live and work in Mackay Isaac Whitsunday region and long before these places were known by their colonial names they were actually known as Yuibera, Koinjmal, Widi, Birriah, Barada Kabalbara Yetimarala, Jangga, Barada Barna, Western Kangoulu, Wirdi, Ngaro, Gia and Juru respectively. We would like to acknowledge the traditional owners of the Greater Whitsunday Region, and their continuing connection to the land, water and community. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.
