Gong Wanhurr

The Gong Wanhurr model reinforces existing cultural links between individual homelands and promotes a two-way structure that allows the governing organization, Gong Wanhurr Aboriginal Corporation, to strategically develop three spheres of expertise necessary for sustainable growth.

• Governance & Management
• Education & Training
• Employment & Production

“Goŋ Wanhurr is about learning, talking, sharing old and new knowledge to feed ideas out to the world and build the partnerships for the future. Knowledge and Imagination is the future of our Homelands”. Tommy Riyakurray Munyarryun

“We are creating strong leaders of tomorrow in the homelands through two-way education…old ways and new…Yolngu and Balanda together.” Multhara Mununggurr



“My vision for building a stronger future for homeland kids is through the Goŋ Wanhurr initiative in partnership with Homeland communities in NE Arnhem Land” Djakapurra Munyarryun

“ We want to share the success we have had, within our community and homelands, to help the young ones understand how to put performances together and tour them around the world. That’s what we have done me and my family. Now we want to do it Yolngu way, starting with Learning on Country, through homeland schools, and help prepare the new generation for expressing our culture in traditional and contemporary ways, for wide audiences, all around the world.” Guypunura Janet Munyarryun [winner 2012 Deadly "Dancer of the Year" Award]
