THE battle to stop traditional Australian languages dying out has received
a huge boost with the opening of the Gumbaynggirr Aboriginal Language and
Culture Nest in Coffs Harbour.

Hundreds gathered at the Coffs Harbour Education Campus yesterday for the
official launch attended by Gumbaynggirr elders, community members and NSW
Aboriginal Affairs Minister Victor Dominello.

The Nest is designed to integrate schools, TAFE, universities and
Aboriginal communities to language resources in a bid to keep people both
speaking and passing on the language.
