We, the Wunambal Gaambera people welcome you to our Country – Bianngaa graa winya.
We are the native title holders of 2.5 million hectares of graa (land) and wundaagu (saltwater), that is our Wunambal Gaambera Country, in the North Kimberley region of Australia.
We are following our Wunambal Gaambera Healthy Country Plan to help us look after our Uunguu, our cultural and natural assets and values, to pass, in tact, to future generations and share with visitors.
Our Healthy Country vision for the next ten years, is for us, Wunambal Gaambera people, to build our sustainable livlihoods and communal wealth on and from our healthy Country.
Our Wunambal Gaambera Aboriginal Corporation represents us and our communal native title needs and interests.
Healthy Country
It is important for us to look after Country and to make sure our unique cultural and natural assets and values (our Uunguu) are kept healthy and passed onto future generations.
Visiting Country
The Uunguu Visitor Pass (UVP) is now required for road, air and coast visitors, enabling people to enjoy an authentic Uunguu Experience - sharing our unique culture, beautiful savannah and coastal landscapes.

Stay tuned for some of the outcomes later in the year!
