Their ancestral territory extends from the Northern bank of the Pine River in Brisbane to the Baruum River near Maryborough.  It encompasses the coastal areas around the Sunshine Coast to the inland areas near the Blackall Range. The Gubbi Gubbi people have a rich cultural heritage and a deep connection to the land and waters of their traditional country.

For thousands of years, the Gubbi Gubbi people lived in harmony with the natural environment, utilizing its resources for sustenance and maintaining a balanced relationship with the land. They have a profound knowledge of the local flora, fauna, and seasonal cycles, which enabled them to survive and thrive in this diverse and dynamic region.
