Bush Regen
After successfully recieiving the Northern Rivers Community Foundation Grant, the Arakwal Bush Regeneration Team was created to allow opportunitites for the Arakwal People to be working back on Country and working in Bush Regeneration in the Northern Rivers.
The Arakwal Bush Regen Team
The Arakwal Bush Regen Team has created a wonderful Bush Tucker Garden at our Arakwal Community Housing in Byron. We also have some projects in the making for Bush Tucker Gardens in the wider Byron Community.
Our mob
The Bundjalung of Byron Bay – Arakwal Bumberlin people, have lived in the coastal landscape around the Byron Bay area for thousands of years. We are the Native Title Holders and recognised Traditional Custodians of Byron Bay. Arakwal Country extends from Jew Point, south of Broken Head to the Brunswick River up north, west to Mullumbimby, Bangalow and Newrybar and includes a portion of sea country off the Tyagarah Nature Reserve, north of Byron Bay.
The Byron Bay Arakwal people are part of the wider Bundjalung nation and their history predates the arrival of non-Aboriginal people in the Byron Bay area. Ancestors, Bobby and Alice, Harry and Clara Bray, Linda and Jimmy Kay, have passed on their traditions and cultural practices that are alive in many of our descendants today.
