On the Way to Yalanbara

The Traditional Owners of Yalaŋbara call out to the spirit of the Old People, and Country cares for you. That place is healing and it calms your soul. Anyone, whether it's Yolŋu or Balanda, can feel the spirit of that place. At Yalaŋbara you are somebody.

Yalaŋbara is a special place: white sand, turquoise water, plenty to eat. But what happens when the car gets bogged on the way there? Is it time to be hot and cross, or to remember ... and dream?

"This is the kind of story that ensures families live and grow strong. Yalaŋbara visited with me as I sat a long way from my Gulf Country home and reminded me of the important things – family, laughter, food and being on Country. A wonderful story." - Dr Debra Dank, multi-award-winning author and ILF Ambassador
