We are coming to see you
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.

Leah Umbagai Ungud (snake)
The Ungud Snake story is about two young boys who didn’t listen to their elders or believe in them. There is a big waterhole an in it lies a large Ungud Snake. The old people told the kids not to go near that waterhole, but these boys thought the elders were tricking them so they wanted to find out for themselves. So they went to the waterhole and built a hideout from branches with small holes so that they can see ( just in case the elders told the truth) they looked at the billabong and it was calm. They banged two sticks together to make clapping noise and then they saw all the lilypads starting to move apart on the water and large logs came up from out of the water, then came bubbles and after a huge head coming out of the water to have a look around for who had been making all the noise. He hadn’t seen annone so he went back down and the lilypads went flat and the water went calm. Those two boys ran back to the camp and told the elders that they were right , there was a snake and the elders told them that they should have listened in the first place. The Ungud Snake also was the chosen animal in helping with the creation of mother earth, creating rivers, gorges, stream’s and helped with the formation of the earth. Still today it lives in these dark deep water hole’s in our country which doesn’t want to be disturbed.
Kallum Mungulu Wandjina & Ungud
The Wandjina is the creator spirit that belongs to us (the Wororra, Ngarinyin and Wunumbul people). He is the one that created everything, he also gave us our culture, law and songs and even the dreaming of each child before they are born.

Gordon Barunga Rimmijbudda & Ungud (rain and cloud spirit & totem)
Rimijbudda is a powerful Wandjina from the Wanumbul country. Gordon Barunga says: “He’s from my mother’s side – Wanumbul, Hunter River, on the sea side from Kalumburu. He’s a thief, steals shells and any sorts of things. Rimij means ‘robs’.” Rimijbudda’s exploits as a thief are part of his identity: he used to take from the other Wandjinas when they were hunting or fishing. He would then run away with their wives. Jugalimurra (another Wanumbul Wandjina) works for Rimijmurra by the sea. As in nearly all depictions of Wandjinas, Jagulimarra and Rimijmurra lack mouths. Pudja (Gordon’s mother) explains that when the Wandjinas send rain, they make the sound of thunder through their nostrils, but they lack mouths so that it won’t rain too hard. The Ungud snake is the one that made the rivers and holds water. If they are disturbed then they will kill whoever disturbs them.
