About Gumbi Gumbi Gardens
Acknowledging the Giabal and Jarowair people as the traditional custodians of the land where this campus and these Gardens now stand. Paying respect to their elders – past, present and future – and acknowledge that these lands have always been places of teaching and learning. In the spirit of reconciliation, the Gumbi Gumbi Gardens have been established through a partnership between the community and the UniSQ as a place for learning and the sharing of ideas. This builds on ancient traditions and cherished stories, it continues the conversation between peoples that has brought us to this point in time and it provides a path to opportunities yet to be realised. The Gardens were designed in collaboration with Historical Elders from Toowoomba and Elders of the Jarowair people. The symbol of these Gardens - the gumbi gumbi (Pittosporum angustifolium) – was introduced to Toowoomba from further west as a multi-purpose medicine by Joyce and Walter McCarthy. It represents knowledge, growth and healing. These Gardens tell the story of the growth journey we all take; learning from the past to inform the future. It is a story of mutual dependence, of walking and growing together and of confidence in the future.
