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.Β Record-breaking flooding in the Daintree has created an ongoing emergency in Wujal Wujal, Ayton, Shipton’s Flat and Rossville.Β 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.Β 
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.

Last week on Thursday the 22nd of August our Skilling Queenslanders for work Trainees finished up on their practical training blocks with TAFE Queensland as part of their Certificate I in Conservation and Ecosystem Management 🀩
Our trainees continue to show confidence and enthusiasm towards their chosen areas of work within Jabalbina and continue to show a great deal of support and leadership skills throughout their daily duties πŸ‘
They are now leading up to the last few months of employment and many discussions have been had in regards to further employment opportunities whether that be within Jabalbina or in other employment.
Please help us in congratulating our Trainees in gaining a wealth of knowledge and understanding in what Jabalbina is about and what we aspire it to be for future Traineeship opportunities. Acknowledging that they have been courageous in putting their feet out on country and contributing to many of our great success stories πŸ‘βœ¨
