TENTERFIELD - NEW ENGLAND HIGH COUNTRY ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY | 5 For many thousands of years Bald Rock served as neutral ground for the three Aboriginal nations of the region: the Jukembal, Bundjalung and Kamilaroi. Bald Rock was considered a boundary by the nations, so meetings and trade could occur on the site without each nation having to journey through the other territories. Council acknowledges the traditional custodians of this land. In doing so, we pay our respects to the Elders past, present and emerging, of the Jukembal, Kamilaroi and Bundjalung nations and extend that respect to other Aboriginal people.
