Nalingu News – Volume 1

Many of the people who attended have had no previous involvement with the revival and recording of their traditional languages and were keen to hear about established programs operating around the state and in northern New South Wales. Presentations were given by Nalingu Aboriginal Corporation, State Library of Queensland, Yugambeh Museum and the Many Rivers Language Centre from Northern NSW.

From the meeting the South West Queensland Language Group was formed and plans are now under way for follow up meetings in 2009.

The groups is called “Proud To Be Gunggari”, and the Gunggari Language team would love us all to use it to keep in contact with them.
