Did you know that every plant has a twin animal?
The Cottonwood Tree, native to the Sunshine Coast, is the twin to the Green Sea Turtle. When the tree flowers, it signals turtle nesting season. When the Cabbage Palm blooms, baby Brim begin their migration to open waters.
Or, did you know the Pink Bloodwood Tree, a Grandmother tree, carries healing properties (its sap traditionally used to soothe toothaches!)?
How about that beneath the Chambers Island walking bridge lies a freshwater spring that meets the saltwater river. And the canals off the Maroochy River was hand-dug centuries ago, serving as a location of a nursery?
These are stories and knowledge passed down through generations of the Murulla people. Our team participated in a Walk on Country with Aunty Bridgette to learn about the land we live and work on.
Aunty Bridgette’s greatest passion is to share this wisdom, and we are proud to listen and learn.
