TRANSCRIPT:
Aunty Sandy King lived in Brisbane's Victoria Park with her parents in the 1950s.
She remembers every detail of the scenery.
"We had lakes going through here, you know, with turtles and everything else you can think of. All sorts of fish."
She lived in a unit built by the U-S Military in World War 2 which was later converted to housing by the Queensland government.
"No only was I born and raised here, my first few years of life, this is where I used to come past, we used to the Centenary Pool. All of us just walk around here."
In March, Queensland premier David Crisafulli announced a new $3.7 billion stadium would be built in Victoria Park for the Brisbane Olympic Games in 2032 - despite repeatedly promising prior to the last state election he would not do so.
He has said the Park was clearly the superior choice after a review into the government's options found it would cost too much money and time to make the Gabba a suitable venue.
"A choice between the embarrassment of hosting the games at QSAC or a new stadium at Victoria Park... It became a choice between delivering a Games with an eye to the future or rewinding the clock four decades."
The state government's U-turn has sparked concerns from First Nations communities, including Aunty Sandy King.
"I was quite shattered at first, I thought 'what, Victoria Park?', I'm thinking, 'what the hell ', I was just sick."
Uncle Gavin Tyson says Victoria Park is a significant cultural site for several First Nations communities.
"It's significant to the Wakka people, the Gubbi people, the Quandamooka people, the Munanjali people, you know. So it got a lot of significance, not just the Traditional Owners here."
Uncle Tyson says there were many activities held at Victoria Park, including inter-tribal meetings.
"We used to do Pullen Pullen, we used to do more or less like the Olympics, the Olympic Game."
Mr Crisafulli has defended his decision to make Victoria Park the location for an Olympic Stadium.
He says the Olympics will be a good opportunity to promote First Nations culture to the world.
"I don't think we made enough for our Indigenous heritage in this state, and I do believe there is an amazing opportunity with tourism, when we focus on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and the longest running continued culture on the planet."
Aunty King now hopes her people will be heard in the upcoming international sport gala.
"I would like to have something there to talk about our history, and our people that were living there beforehand, our ancestors."
