K’gari (Paradise) #pixel_dailies #Pixquare #pixelart #Sand #Island #K’gari #Butchulla #Queensland #Australia

K’gari formerly known as Fraser Island is the largest sand island in the world. “K’gari” is from the Butchulla traditional owners language meaning paradise.

I'm gonna be real I think Butchulla Aboriginal Corporation and other traditional owner groups should have power to overrule the Australian Government on matters like this one, and others

A very long campaign by the Butchulla people. In 2023 Qld Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk oversaw the restoration of the name K'gari. The European name you know stems from lies & hides the atrocities committed against the Butchulla. #qldpol www.sbs.com.au/news/article...
What's in a name: K'gari sheds colonial legacy

This is one of my favourite pics from their Australian tour. Harry meets with the indigenous, Butchulla people on Fraser Island. There is something about the interconnectivity of these two men - spiritually

Why do we now call Fraser Island, K'gari? The short answer is it goes some way to making amends.

Unfortunately, I have no Indigenous heritage so it is a story best told by the Butchulla people. This is an interactive storytelling documentary. www.sbs.com.au/kgari/

We can't keep doing this.

The Wongari don't understand why the Butchulla were taken from them on K'gari. We all need to leave the island for a time so the two can reconcile. #qldpol

Former Queensland Premier Steven Miles had a plan to restrict visitor numbers to K'gari but David Crisafulli tore that up. It would have given the Butchulla people time to work with the wongari (dingoes). A beautiful animal, unique reddish fur. #qldpol

Great news from the World Heritage Committee in France. The world’s largest sand island will now be known globally by its Traditional name—K’gari.
This week the name K’gari was formally adopted in honour of the Butchulla people, who have cared for and belonged to this Country for over 60,000 years.
