FLOOD EMERGENCY APPEAL: Wujal Wujal Recovery

Help us raise $100,000.00 to support on the ground response activities!

Pictures taken by community members in Wujal during flooding.

Port Douglas to Mungumby, have experienced the worst floods in a century, brought on by ex-tropical Cyclone Jasper. Record-breaking flooding in the Daintree has created an ongoing emergency in Wujal Wujal, Ayton, Shipton’s Flat and Rossville. Our community of Wujal Wujal where approximately 250 people reside at, was significantly impacted by flooding and people have been evacuated from the community via helicopters to Cooktown where they will reside at in the meantime.
There are ten casual Jabalbina Rangers who can be employed to help with the clean up. They need to be transported to Wujal Wujal, and as required to Ayton, Shipton’s Flat and Rossville, and to have resources, chainsaws to remove fallen trees, and high-pressure cleaners and other tools to remove the mud from community buildings and houses. 
We kindly request the support of our partners and friends to help our People and Communities with the clean up and restoration.
Your support will be go a long way in bringing our Yalanji People back home to their beloved home of Wujal Wujal.

Peyton Bowen - QRSS 15-16yrs Girls Rugby League State Championships🏉

Jabalbina were proud to support one of our Junior Ranger students Peyton Bowen, as she took on the incredible challenge of competing in the Girls Rugby League Championships down in the Gold Coast.☀️

We have confidence in the power of sport to inspire, unite, and bring out the very best in individuals and communities.

It was an honour to contribute to Peyton’s rugby league journey, helping provide the resources she needs to train, travel, and compete at the highest level. We know the path to success is never easy, but it’s through these challenges that champions are made —and we are proud to be part of that journey.✨

Well done Peyton, the Jabalbina family is proud of you, your efforts and your rugby achievements!👏

Good News Story - Men's Boat Trip🛥

Our Disaster Management Ranger Team joined up with Apunipima’s Men’s Health Worker Jarrod Kulka for a cultural boat trip and fishing activity day for the Men’s Group based in Mossman.

Mental health is just as important for men as it is for women in terms of overall well-being. Men are frequently expected to be protectors, providers, and examples of strength by society. This can have serious results, including substance misuse, higher rates of suicide, and other mental health issues.

This boat trip was a great chance for our men to get together, have a yarn, have a laugh and to also just escape reality for the day.

Fishing, yarning sessions and lunch set-up down at the Daintree River heads. This day was also an opportunity to invite a few of our SQW trainees to come along and learn about how they can engage with other community members and be involved in cultural activities.

A HUGE thanks to our Southern teams and Apunipima for making this deadly trip happen for the men in our community, your work doesn’t go unnoticed!🌟

Jindalba Signage Update

Our rangers Conrad Yeatman and Kallum Clarke have worked closely with Qld Parks & Wildlife Service to develop new signs for the Jindalba boardwalk upgrade. Thanks to the input from Traditional Owners, the signs include Eastern Kuku Yalanji stories, quotes, and language so that visitors have a deeper understanding of EKY connection to Country.

Signs across the Daintree National Park (CYPAL) are being updated to reflect the change in land ownership to Cape York Peninsula Aboriginal Land. Traditional Owners will next be looking at signs at Kulki, Dubuji and Madja.
