"A land bridge connected Minjerribah (Stradbroke Island) to Kombumerri country (Southport) and Goories also came in canoes to Minjerribah trading bunya for eugarie, amongst other things." History Life and Times of Robert Anderson, Gheebelum, Ngugi, Mulgumpin

 'It was after reading this line 4 years ago that Gold Coast author Benjamin Allmon realised he knew nothing of the indigenous history of his home, the land of the Saltwater People, and felt a responsibility to his young son to learn it.  So he embarked on a voyage of discovery that led him further than he ever expected, into a cultural story that is rarely offered to someone outside of the Bundjalung and Yugambeh people.'
