kuril dhagun – Indigenous Knowledge Centre
|
Located on level one of State Library of Queensland, kuril dhagun provides a nucleus for Queensland’s unique Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures.
kuril dhagun draws its meaning from kuril referring to the native marsupial that is found on the State Library site, near Kurilpa Point on the Brisbane River, and dhagun meaning earth/place/country, with a literal translation of the name being ‘kuril’s place’.
