Glinagay! My name is Uncle Mark Flanders and I'd like to welcome you to the Gumbaynggirr Aboriginal Country, my Country. We are saltwater-freshwater people. We are land and sea people. We are custodians of our lands and waters and which are caretakers of our lands and waters. This bush you are looking at, this is our calendar. This told us when the foods were available, when to move camp, the seasonal patterns determined what we were doing. At winter time, we travelled from the mountains down into the ocean because there's lots more food available. In the summertime before the summer we'd travel back up into the mountains here again. Come up here and visit this beautiful rainforest up here on the escarpment that we have. The foods are still here, our medicines are still here. Our cultures is still strong in this area. Come on up and visit it. You'll enjoy it.
