The Goulburn region which our brewery sits and operates from, is known as a meeting place to the 13 groups that inhabited this area and met here.

These are the MULWAREE, WOLLONDILLY, WIRADJURI, GUNDUNGARRA, DHARUG, DHARAWAL, TARLO, LACHLAN, PAJONG, PARRAMARRAGOO, COOKMAL, BURRA BURRA, & NGUNAWAL people.

This piece, created by local Aboriginal Artist, Aryssa McAlister, symbolises Goulburn as a meeting place for these 13 groups.

As you make your way to the right it symbolises the land the brewery sits on. Above flowing across the artwork is the Wollondilly river, a significant landmark for Aboriginal people from the area.

As you move towards the right below the water you'll find hops, barley, yeast, and water integrated in the painting.

Tribe's employees are represented by the sitting people symbols.

The last part of the painting on the right represents Tribe as a whole, that without teamwork and connection things don't flow.

Mawang meaning 'altogether.'
