Wujal Wujal Welcomes Dot Com Mob

Mayor Desmond Tayley and Deputy Mayor Talita Nandy welcomed several international dignitaries this week, including visitors from the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indians.

Amongst the visitors were the Dot Com Mob, who is seeking corporate partners to help the Wujal Wujal council to upgrade the computer room in the Indigenous Knowledge Centre.

The State Library of Qld already supports the community with books and training events as well as supporting the centre co-ordinator Carol Toby but currently the community only has access to one public computer.

The Mayor presented the Dot Com Mob with a copy of the book "Yalanji, Warranga Kaban", which details the history of the Yalanji people.

The children and youths of Wujal Wujal treated the visitors to a wonderful display of traditional dancing.

Many thanks to the whole community for such a warm welcome!
