Café Chloe celebrates culture and provides meaningful jobs to Aboriginal and under-employed community members in Tully. It is the dream of our partners at Ingan Tours to develop a training program for youth at the local high school to come and learn skills in hospitality and food preparation, as well as the opportunity to learn more about the Jirrbal culture. With the tourism industry booming in Queensland, this will help to prepare these students for employment, better understand their culture, and build self-confidence. Eventually, the proceeds from the goods and services sold at the café will build a small museum located in the restaurant that will display cultural artifacts that have been passed on for generations, and will share their history with the public for years to come.
