These parks and reserves remain sacred
to the Traditional Owners of Ipswich,
the Yagara People, consisting of the
Jagera, Yuggera and Ugarapul Clans.
Sacred sites are very important to the
Traditional Owners, as they provide
a link between Country and personal
identity and allow the passing on of cultural knowledge.
Some of the sacred sites within Ipswich include quarry
sites, traditional food resources, story places, pre-contact
and historical camp sites, fighting grounds, ceremonial
sites, bora rings and women’s business sites.
