Gumbaynggirr

Gumbaynggirr country reaches from the Dorrigo Plateau through the Bellinger valley to the coast. Rainforest covers the steep Dorrigo escarpment, where the Bellinger River begins its descent towards the sea at Urunga. The Never Never River, a tributary in the valley, provided freshwater turtles and crayfish. The Gumbaynggirr people know the plateau, river and coast as connected parts of their country.
