Bora Ring, Moggill

Come along to an enlightening afternoon of history starting at 2pm on Sunday, May 25th. Join us for a guided walk from the Bellbowrie Community Church to the historic Bora Ring which is located on Riversleigh Road.

This site is Moggill’s only surviving Aboriginal initiation Bora Ring, and it serves as a profound reminder of the cultural heritage and traditions of the Aboriginal people.

If you would like more information or have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

We look forward to sharing this unique cultural experience with you. We hope to see you there!
