Yugambal is NOT the same language as Yugambe. Phil Winzer has been in touch
with me too as I met some of his relatives in the 1970s who knew a few
words of their ancestral language, which seems to have been Yugambal,
however the songs are from the 1960s and I think it would be extremely
difficult to transcribe them on the basis of what else survives of the
language.

Anyone is welcome to give it a go however.
