The Diamantina Health Care Museum Association Inc received a grant from the Brisbane City Council Community Cultural Program to commission Dr Ros Kidd respected local historian to undertake this project. In early 2000, Dr Kidd submitted the below report, which will contribute to the ongoing research, interpretations and displays on the site.
The report recognises the land on which the Princess Alexandra Hospital has evolved as traditional country and acknowledges the importance of this recognition to local Aboriginal peoples.
The site is an important healing place with connections to traditional culture as well as connections to contemporary healing practised by today's health care professionals.
