About this app
The Walking on Country app is a self-guided walking tour that utilises smart phone digital technology to immerse users in the history and culture of the Turrbal and Yugara people within the built environment of QUT’s Gardens Point campus.
The walk is to foster both a physical and spiritual connection to Magandjin/Meanjin (Brisbane) and Aboriginal people using augmented reality (AR) and interactive experiences. Users will be guided to seven points of interest on campus, each representing a range of themes and messages relating to Aboriginal place, people, culture, and Country.
The Walking on Country project was initiated by QUT’s Office of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Indigenous Australians, and guided by Yugara Traditional Owners, Greg "Uncle Cheg" Egert (Inaugural QUT Elder-in-Resident) and Gaja Kerry Charlton. It also received input from many others including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff, students, and community members.
Walking on Country aims to raise awareness and create a deeper understanding of the land where QUT is located. This is achieved by reflecting on both the past and present, across social, political, environmental, geographic, and learning themes.
