Milbi Festival

Guests at the Milbi Gala Ball didn’t just enjoy an evening of entertainment, they also dug deep, raising $23,000 for the Sea Turtle Alliance.

A message stick, which travelled to the Milbi Festival along the song-lines of the region’s First Nations People, helped to launch the event and share Indigenous culture.

Visitors to the new Mon Repos Visitor Centre will be treated to Indigenous-inspired cuisine as the new on-site Gidji Café opens its doors.

For Gooreng Gooreng Elder Douglas Graham, feeling the sand between his toes as he returned to his traditional Country was a special moment. Uncle Douglas is just one of the Woorabinda Elders who returned for a symbolic coming home as part of the Milbi Festival.

Welcome the weekend and relax with friends as the sun sets across the Burnett River at Sunset Eats + Beats at Riverfeast.

Community members gathered to listen to the stories from co-curator of Legacy: Reflections on Mabo, Gail Mabo, as she connected her father Eddie Mabo’s life through artwork as part of the Milbi Festival.
