One of the words I really love... Gunganbuwawala... let's all be friends
On 27 November, 2017 Michael Jarrett, the teacher for the Gumbaynggirr Aboriginal Language and Culture Nest, talks about his experiences in the role. He recounts how as the teacher, he wants to get as many schools as possible involved in the nest, and as there are 6,000 square kilometres of Gumbaynggirr territory, it ‘will be huge.’ He also works with the Muurrbay language centre which teaches local people Gumbaynggirr language and culture. The Gumbaynggirr Aboriginal Language and Culture Nest is located in the Mid North Coast of New South Wales and spans the communities Coffs Harbour, South Grafton, Macksville, Orara, Nambucca Valley, Sawtell, Toormina, Northers Beaches, Dorrigo, Urunga, and Bellingen.
