Milbi Festival

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.

Surfing turtles, ocean waves, bright flowers and rainbows lead the path to this year’s Milbi at the Lighthouse with Chalk the Sidewalk.
