Wujal Wujal is the local Kuku-Yalanji clan name meaning ā€˜many falls’, highlighting the many sacred waterfalls in our landscape.

This imagery captures the multifaceted aspects of our region of rainforest covered mountain ranges, rivers and reef and speaks of our our sparkling coastline and abundant wildlife and of our many peoples and languages.

Our ancestry dates back on our traditional lands for thousands of years and our indigenous language is still spoken in the community. Our local clans are the Kuku Nyungul and Jalunji peoples and the Eastern Kuku Yalanji who have native title to the Wujal Wujal area.
