kuril dhagun - Indigenous Knowledge Centre
The first of its kind in any Australian State Library, kuril dhagun, located on level one of the State Library of Queensland provides a nucleus for Queensland's unique Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures. It is also the flagship for the network of Indigenous Knowledge Centres located throughout Queensland.
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 'kurils place'.
kuril dhagun currently offers a range of public programs throughout the year including A Night by the fire and Yarnin' time.
