The Nudgee Waterholes Rehabilitation Project
The Nudgee Waterholes and Bora Ring rehabilitation project has provided a unique opportunity for Traditional Owners and Brisbane City Council to form a working relationship based on mutual respect for this historic and beautiful area.
This project, which has combined the rehabilitation of the waterholes and the replanting of the surrounding bushland with the development of a district sport, recreational and cultural facility, offers an opportunity to restore and recognise the area's cultural significance as a proud part of the city's identity.
During the project Council has worked closely with the Traditional Custodians of this ancient place and thanks them for their assistance and the generous way in which they have shared their knowledge of the area.
Council asks that you respect and enjoy Nar-dha - nar (meaning
black ducks) and dha (meaning earth ground).
Shifting Geology
Nudgee Waterholes Nar-dha is located very close to Moreton Bay. There is evidence Moreton Bay has filled and emptied at least four times in its long geographical history, due to advances and retreats of glaciers and ice sheets in polar regions. In the last 10 000 years this movement has deposited large quantities of alluvial sands and gravels in the Nudgee waterholes area. Sandstone, siltstone, shale and conglomerate gravel can be found here, as well as silcrete, a flaky material used for making Aboriginal stone tools.
