The Gumbaynggirr people are an Indigenous Australian group located in the northeastern region of New South Wales. Their traditional lands extend from the coastal areas around Coffs Harbour to the hinterland, encompassing diverse ecosystems that include forests, rivers, and beaches. The Gumbaynggirr have a rich cultural heritage, including unique languages, stories, and art forms that reflect their connection to the land. Historically, the Gumbaynggirr people engaged in sustainable practices, such as fishing and gathering, which allowed them to thrive in their environment. Today, they continue to maintain their cultural identity through community initiatives, language revival programs, and the preservation of their traditional knowledge and practices.
