Welcome to Country Yawuru

Ngaji gurrjin! Welcome.

Wirriya ngangaran liyan nyamba buru Yawuru. We hope you are feeling good in our Yawuru country.

Nyamba buru jirra Yawuruungany ngarrungunil Bugarrigarranyurdany, jarrinygun buru mangara. This is the land of all Yawuru people from the time before time began, always and forever.

Yawuru people are the traditional owners of the lands and waters in and around Rubibi (the town of Broome), from Bangarangara to the yalimban (south), to Wirrjinmirr (Willie Creek) to the guniyan (north), and banu (east) covering Roebuck Plains and Thangoo pastoral leases, in the Kimberley region of northern Western Australia.

Miliya rumarragun wirriya yangarrngaran ngangayi LIYAN jarrayirr yanggibardu yanggi yingarrjin.

We are proud of our Yawuru language as we welcome and feel a new day dawning.
