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.

Our Uunguu Rangers were invited by Dept. of Biodiversity & Conservation on board their boat Warndoom for 9 day trip from Cygnet Bay to McGowans Beach. During their time, they assisted with a coral bleaching survey, almost completed their Coxswain task books and got plenty of sea hours.
Now it’s to Munurru to set up the camp ground for tourist season….

Question, so all travellers must present a negative RAT at the campgrounds before they may stay? If we buy a pass at Drysdale do we just need to present a negative RAT there? Or just be ready to do one upon request? TIA
Cool 😎👌👍 keep safe 👌👍😁

Are you planning your next trip?
If you are keen to visit the remote Kimberley, including the iconic Punamii- Uunpuu (Mitchell Falls) or any of our Wunambal Gaambera Visitor Locations we ask that you purchase an Uunguu Visitor Pass from our website before visiting: wunambalgaambera.org.au/shop/
We made this video a couple of years ago when we greeted visitors to our Ngula-Jar Island site on the Uunguu Coast. It explains why we have a visitor pass in place, where the money goes and how it benefits us and visitors.
Thanks to Mark Jones who shot and director the video for us.
