In 1986, a small group of Gumbaynggir Elders living on Dunghutti Country enlisted the help of a local priest to save their language. From this group, the revitalisation began. This began with the mammoth task of categorising and understanding the language to build the first dictionary.
When you're on country, you just see it. You can feel the old people still there, you know. And I know that just in, in doing the language, it just makes you closer to that too.Sandra Walker
