Jellurgal Aboriginal Cultural Centre

Jellurgal Aboriginal Cultural Centre serves as a primary hub for Indigenous education and tourism in Burleigh Heads. Owned and operated by the local Aboriginal community, the centre focuses on preserving and sharing the heritage of the Yugambeh language group. Visitors can access a variety of experiences, including the Jellurgal Walk, which traverses the mountain known as Jellurgal. The facility includes a dedicated gallery space featuring local artworks and traditional artefacts, alongside a retail area for authentic souvenirs. Situated at the base of the Burleigh Head National Park, the centre offers a direct link to the natural and spiritual significance of the Gold Coast coastline. Cultural tours provide insight into traditional bush tucker, ancient midden sites, and the ecological management of the land. The site functions as an important resource for both international visitors and local residents interested in the pre-colonial history of the region. Regular workshops and performances provide deeper engagement with the living culture of the traditional custodians.
