About Us

Kaurna Welcome

Ninna Marni (a Kaurna word for "Hello, How are you?")

We would like to acknowledge this land and the traditional lands of the Kaurna people and that we respect their spiritual relationship with their country. We also acknowledge the Kaurna people as the custodians of the Adelaide region and that their cultural and heritage beleifs are still as important to the living Kaurna people today.

About Our Logo

Our logo consists of Nunga colours in a circular fashion forming the border of the design to draw attention to Kura Yerlo being an Aboriginal organisation. The two dolphins represent being by the sea. The central point of the logo is the Kaurna shield. Black and white hands (murra's) show how we represent all ages.
