The suburbs or Robertson and Coopers Plains are located in Brisbane, Queensland, which is traditionally known as Meanjin or Magandjin (sometimes spelled Maganjin) - two prominent Indigenous names for the area now known as Brisbane. The traditional custodians of this area are the Turrbal and Yuggera (or Jagera) peoples. Descendants of both groups maintain a deep cultural, spiritual, and historical connection to the land and waterways across Greater Brisbane.
You can learn more about the traditional custodians and First Nations peoples’ connection to the region through the Turrbal Aboriginal Tribe website, organisations such as the Wirrinyah Gurrnung Aboriginal Corporation who work to keep the Yagara language alive for future generations, or by consulting the AIATSIS Map of Indigenous Australia.
