We, the Wunambal Gaambera People are proud to launch our new book which we made together with the Dambimangari people. Our book, We Are Coming to See You, shares our Wangina Wunggurr Culture, the same culture we share with the Willinggin people. 

Our elders have worked together for many years to make this book. This book is their modern way to leave our Wanjina Wunggurr culture story to our children and future generations.

We see, and we are always reminded of our ancestors everywhere in our graa, our country. Lalai is when our Wanjina Wunggurr ancestors created our country many, many, many generations ago and left their images, paintings, memories and stories in caves, in stone, in living things, in seasons, in weather, in fresh and saltwater and in the shapes of our country for our families today to see, read and learn.

Our elders made this book to show that our Wanjina Wunggurr culture, language and history is in our graa country. We can visit, learn and get our cultural strength from it. Our many Wanjinas, our sacred Wunggurr, our Gwion who give us guidance and wunan our ways to live together. Man and woman customs, our knowledge to use and look after all things – bush, animals, birds, fish, plants, water – that our Wanjina Wunggurr ancestors created and left for us today.
