Signed certificate of authenticity.

For several thousand years, the Darling Downs was home to various clans of the Wakka Wakka language speakers: the Keinjan around Warwick, the Giabal around Toowoomba, the Barunggam to the west of Dalby, and the Jarowair around the Bunya mountains. To the south and west were the Bigambal and Kambuwal of the Kamilaroi speakers; to the east were the Jagara of the Turubul speakers. The Downs Indigenous peoples were also known as the Gomaingguru, ‘men of the Condamine’, or Gooneburra, ‘fire blacks’ (from their habit of frequently firing the grasslands). They numbered perhaps 1500–2000.

The cultural landscape of Cunnamulla is a vibrant mosaic, where the ancient traditions of the Warrego River, paralleling the story of Cunnamulla, stand as a testament to both constancy and transformation, mirroring the town's evolution from its ancient origins to its current role as a center of commerce and culture.Aboriginal art serves as a portal to Australia's essence, narrating the tales of the Dreamtime, the revered epoch of creation in Aboriginal mythology. The Balaang Healing initiative captures this essence, merging the visual magnificence of art with the deep-rooted cultural traditions of healing and community.Dreamtime stories are central to Aboriginal spirituality and identity. Tales such as the Seven Sisters Jukurrpa are not merely myths; they are affirmations of a vibrant culture and the laws that dictate social relationships within Aboriginal communities.The Dreamtime Serpent, pivotal in Aboriginal mythology, symbolizes the interconnection of life and the environment, a concept that profoundly echoes in our current era as we strive to comprehend our role in the natural world.
