BUSH TUCKER BUNJIE

Gabriel Willie is a proud Wulli Wulli man born and raised in Rockhampton Queensland.

Gabriel has been working in the film industry for over 11 years in a number of different roles. Starting off as a trainee at Bush TV, a private production company he gained a variety of different skills from presenting to camera operator, lighting, sound, editing and script writing.

As a freelance filmmaker now his creativity and skills have allowed him to be involved in a wide range of materials including short films, documentaries, music clips, corporate material, web content and video sketches. Recently his status has gone viral online through the comedic video sketches of a character he has created called the Bush Tucker Bunjie. Which lead to gaining writing and acting roles on ABC’s Black Comedy season 3 and 4.

Gabriel says, “My Indigenous heritage and Culture mean a lot to me, I currently live on the Gold Coast and perform as a traditional dancer and didgeridoo player for the Yugambeh Aboriginal dancers.”   

Gabriel will MC the main stage during the morning of Giiyong Festival.
