MIRRABOOKA   AN ABORIGINAL LEGEND

There was a man – Biami – who was created by the Rainbow Serpent at the beginning of time. By the Mother of Life, he was given the power and responsibility to protect all the tribes of the Southern Lands from harm.

In due time Biami needed help in his assigned tasks and he chose Mirrabooka who was respected and loved for his wisdom and the way in which he looked after the welfare of the people.

Biami rewarded Mirrabooka for his good help by promising him eternal life. He was given spirit form and placed in the sky where he can be seen among the stars, stretched across the sky, still today watching over the people of the Southern Lands.

White settlers, when they arrived did not know it was Mirrabooka in the sky and named him The Southern Cross and his two eyes the pointers.

We are proud to name our health care business after Mirrabooka, and hope the light of his good Spirit energy may shine on us and our work.

We acknowledge and thank Oogeroo Nunukal and Bronwyn Bancroft for giving us the story in their book Stradbroke Dreaming (Angus and Robertson, 1972).
