How paddleboarding is reviving a dying language

Alongside Wajaana Yaam's paddleboarding excursions, BMNAC also offers
monthly cultural immersion experiences at Niigi Niigi (Sealy Point)
Lookout, where travellers can learn about Gumbaynggirr ceremony, song and
dance. Nearby, the Nyanggan Gapi cafe serves baked goods flavoured with
wattleseed and lemon myrtle, native ingredients long used in Aboriginal
bush tucker (meals prepared using native animals and plants).

"That's where tourism fits in," Webb said. "It's about educating people
from all walks of life about why language and culture is so important to
our communities. Our best tour guides are the people who know the language
and know the culture because they can give a deeper analysis and
interpretation of our stories and plants."
