​

Local Gumbaynggirr Community supported to express living land
language and culture - on a busy Saturday just before Christmas and the middle of town – as if it was something done everyday. A great crew of people help this come about supported by Great Eastern Ranges Initiative, Jaliigirr Biodiversity Alliance,
Bellingen Sustainability Centre and the Centre for Ecological Learning.

​

The rain stops, the sun comes out, the Koel sings.

Hundreds of people delight in Elder-centred gathering
food, dance, song and language. Healing this place.
