If we care for Country, Country will care for us.

Tracing the Past, Shaping the Future explores how Indigenous Knowledge and cultural land management can guide our path toward a more sustainable future. This self-guided exhibition invites visitors to examine the transformation of our physical environment from pre-colonial times to now, contrasting the Bundjalung people's Country-centred worldview with today's Eurocentric human-centred perspective.

Focused on Widjabul Wia-bal Country, this exhibition brings together maps, landscape sections, plant stories, and case studies that demonstrate the power of Indigenous Knowledge in shaping resilient landscapes. The exhibition highlights different approaches to seeing and managing land, featuring cultural knowledge systems and real-world examples of Indigenous-led practices that help communities adapt to environmental challenges.
