Mission Statement:
The Association’s mission is to create a place where:

Indigenous people and other cultural groups can interconnect by sharing ceremonies, music, wisdom and knowledge. The centre will be a place of peace and harmony and a sanctuary for local wildlife.

At The Lyell Deer Farm, we have a 10-acre block of land protected under the State Government (E.P.A) Environmental Protection Act as a Rare Eco Region with ‘Land for Wildlife Accreditation’, which will be kept in its natural state for generations to come.

In 2005 the land was blessed by Aboriginal Elder Tex Chapman representing the Dungidau Tribe; The original ancestors of this land, giving us permission to hold Multicultural Gatherings to bring together all cultures, to break down the barriers.

We have named the area “Kupidiban Wilderness” A Place of Peace and Harmony,
Kupidabin is the Aboriginal word for “Place of Possums”. Wilderness (according to the Macquarie Dictionary) is a place where the ecology is undisturbed; A place of isolation away from the centre of things.

In November 2007, we had our first Multicultural Gathering bringing together Aboriginal, Maori, Native American and Torres Strait Islanders for the weekend. Visitors came to our Valley from all areas and the Welcoming Ceremony was enjoyed and well attended by many local people and their families. A decision was made by The Council of Elders to make this a Bi-Annual Event.

These Events are called “Reinbo All Nations Gatherings”. Reinbo derives its name from a Dreamtime Spirit creature, the Reinbo Jinek or Rainbow Serpent. Reinbo is a protector of the land, its people, and the source of all life.

Reinbo All Nations Gathering will be held on 7th and 8th November 2009. Read More…
