As a community, it is the sharing of our history that shapes our identity as a people and what it means to be a resident of the Sunshine Coast. To keep that meaning safe, we need to define our story, and what better way than with a tangible link with the past – whether it is by physical historical marker or by connecting with the local communities that know and value their history best. Through this guide, council aims to encourage the community to understand those markers, to visit those communities, to listen, to read and to feel connected with this region that we call the Sunshine Coast. While it offers only a snapshot into our history, it is a great way to immerse yourself in the region’s cultural heritage and celebrate who we are. Mayor Mark Jamieson Discovery guide 9 Aboriginal sites 10 Discovery guide Axe Grinding Grooves 01 Little Rocky Creek, Old Gympie Road, Landsborough The Kabi Kabi First Nation People welcome you. These are Culturally Significant Sites to the Kabi Kabi First Nation Peoples, the recognised Traditional Owners in this Region. Please do not build or modify this area in any way, as you may disturb or damage a Culturally Significant Site. This site holds an important connection to previous generations living traditionally on this Country. The area was part of daily life and a key resource area for axe making. The grinding grooves are evidence of the many generations who have lived on and looked after this land. The site was likely to have been shared between both Jinibara and Kabi Kabi People. Discovery guide 11 12 Discovery guide Baroon Pocket 02 Narrows Road, Montville Baroon Pocket was the focus for one of the best known gatherings of Aboriginal people in South East Queensland. The gathering coincided with the fruiting of numerous bunya trees in the area, occurring every three years when the fruit was most prolific. People travelled to Baroon Pocket from throughout South East Queensland and northern New South Wales, using pathways that provided safe passage through the traditional countries of other groups. Nearby Mill Hill Road and Obi Obi Creek were such pathways. Baroon Pocket is in the traditional country of the Nalbo clan of the Jinibara People, determined Native Title holders, and mountain people of South East Queensland. The Jinibara People proudly displayed their connection to the forested hills of their country by using symbolic fern designs in their body paint. Discovery guide 13 14 Discovery guide Bora Ring 03 Rapkins Road off Johnston Road, Glass House Mountains The Kabi Kabi First Nation People welcome you. These are Culturally Significant Sites to the Kabi Kabi First Nation Peoples, the recognised Traditional Owners in this Region. Please do not build or modify this area in any way, as you may disturb or damage a Culturally Significant Site. In this region, boras are called durns. The durn is a large raised circle of earth made by women. A smaller circle, known as a kippa, was located about 60m away and connected to the durn by a pathway. Male initiates used the kippa for learning and ceremony. The fragile earthworks of bora grounds are easily damaged. Discovery guide 15 Historic sites Did you know?

It enabled farm produce, fruit, and timber to access Brisbane via the main-line at Palmwoods. The first tram ran in 1914 and the last in 1935. A portion of the original railway remains, running adjacent to Mons Road. The track has examples of the cut-and-fill process to create a gentle gradient for the train through the steep terrain. There are remnants of the original sleepers, and some rock faces show remains of the drill holes used to dynamite the rocks. Cost: Free.

It was built in 1891 by T Jesser & Company and it is also known as North Coast Line No 1: Mooloolah tunnel. The Dularcha Railway Tunnel is significant as part of the original formation of the track between Brisbane and Maryborough. The Tunnel provides evidence of the importance of the railway as a means of transportation, and its expansion north, in the late 1880s. The boundaries of the Dularcha National Park, gazetted in 1922, were created around the railway line enabling steam train travelling passengers to view a part of Queensland’s forests.
