Wunambal Gaambera
UUNGUU COAST, KIMBERLEY, WESTERN AUSTRALIA
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.

Uunguu Rangers and Traditional Owners have been continuing our right-way fire 🔥 program on Wunambal Gaambera Country.
Last week we took out Traditional Owners, Veronica Djanghara, Simone Oxtoby and Karen Mangolamara (pictured) to look at the fire work we’ve been doing.
It is important for our people to live and spend time on their graa winya (family area). We really enjoy these trips out on country.

I see they have the traditional helicopter
Oh the suffering these people have
Beautiful country
Yeah! "Traditionally burning the bush to kill or force the animals out for food.As was a well known fact before conservation and custodianship was latched onto to make comparisons with indigenous Americans and for public relations".
now they even free helicopter joy rides. Your taxes at work
Vote NO
What a load of shit
