The interpretative centre displays the Jirrbal's traditional lifestyle, their rainforest base-camp villages, hunting and gathering practices, food processing, community life, rainforest cuisine, and contact history.

This fascinating traditional Aboriginal lifestyle is showcased in a $350,000 interpretive centre, built in the Far North Queensland town of Ravenshoe, as part of the Queensland Heritage Trails Network.

Named Nganyaji by Jirrbal Elders, which means all of us together, it will present Jirrbal lifestyle as something unique yet normal, rather than exotic and disassociated from everyday life.

Further Information
Living in semi-permanent villages in dome-shaped houses, the Jirrbal people used ground ovens and smoking racks to produce meals. They also owned shields and swords for ritual dispute settling and developed a major road system to link settlement sites.
