Yagalingu (also known as Jagalingu, Auanbura, Kokleburra, Owanburra, Kowanburra, Wagalbara, and Djagalingu) is an Australian Aboriginal language of Central Queensland. Its traditional language region was within the local government area of Isaac Region, from the headwaters of the Belyando River south to Avoca, north to Laglan, west to the Great Dividing Range, and east and south to Drummond Range.
Prior to 2008, the Isaac Region was an entire area of three previous and distinct local government areas:
The report recommended that the new local government area should not be divided into wards and elect eight councillors and a mayor. The Isaac Regional Council covers an area of 58,708 square kilometres (22,667 sq mi), had a population in 2018 of 20,934 and an operating budget of A$46.0m.
The region takes its name from the Isaac River which in turn takes its name from Queensland pioneer Frederick Isaac who accompanied the explorer Ludwig Leichhardt on his first expedition.
Isaac’s communities are unique and Council values and actively supports occasions which celebrate who we are, what we have done and where we have come from. Council’s website and online events calendar promotes the arts, cultural and social development programs regularly occurring throughout the Isaac.
Our region offers a wide array of recreational, sporting and cultural opportunities to suit all interests and ages. Sporting facilities are available for all levels from social games to serious exercise and competition. In each of the region’s town centres, families and individuals have access to quality education opportunities. A range of childcare, kindergartens, primary schools and high schools exist across the region.
