Heritage

Roses Gap Recreation Centre acknowledges the Jardwadjali and Djab wurrung people as the Traditional Owners of the land we live and work on, and we pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.

Roses Gap and the Grampians, known by their traditional names of Barigar and Gariwerd, have a rich history and significance to the indigenous people who have inhabited the area for thousands of years.

When Major Thomas Mitchell and the first Europeans arrived in 1836, Gariwerd was inhabited by two indigenous language groups, the Jardwadjali and Djab wurrung.

The Djab wurrung and Jardwajali are thought to have existed in the area for around 5000 years, while their predecessors (who they refer to as the Old People), are confirmed to have inhabited the land as far back as 20 – 30,000 years ago, using Gariwerd as a haven during the last ice age.

Today you can still visit many traditional rock art sites in the Grampians, and learn more about the areas heritage at the Brambuk Cultural Centre in Halls Gap.
