Acknowledgement
This cache is dedicated to Queensland's current reviewer, Jingeri, who has volunteered since late 2020. Many hours are spent each week ensuring that quality geocaches are current and available, whether through new publications, or retiring no longer maintained caches.
And where else to leave a tribute cache to Jingeri, but at Jingeri Park!
In addition to Jingeri, this geocache is a nod to our other Australian Reviewers, who are currently at the time of publication: Ngaambul (NSW, ACT), Moorundi and Tchingal (SA), Bunjil (Vic), Balayang (Tas, WA and NT), and GeoAwareANZ2 (EarthCaches - Oceania). Many others have come before this crew, and others will come too! There are also plenty of others outside of Australia.
Jingeri Park
Named after the Danggan Balun (Five Rivers) peoples, “Jingeri” means “greeting all of you” in the Yugambeh language, whilst “Jingeri Jingeri” is the name for the culturally significant Willie Wagtail, whose story is woven and represented throughout the park landscape.
In collaboration with the local Redlands community and the Danggan Balun Aboriginal Corporation, Lendlease and Vee Design identified the key themes of fauna, flora and gathering, which underpin the motivation for the final design of Jingeri Park.
This integration of Indigenous perspectives through First Nations consultation informed the design of the entire site, from planting palettes, wayfinding, core themes and interactive elements to demonstrate the continuous connection to Country, highlighting the cultural, ecological and community values of this charming coastal park.
