<div>6 members of the the Gaplu clan, Yolŋu nation (Zelda Gurruwiwi, Lena Gurruwiwi, Selma Gurruwiwi, Rachel Dhurrkay, Tilly Dhurrkay &amp; Dorothy Dhurrkay) are currently on Bundjalung country visiting loved ones and doing big cultural work — but they don’t have enough money to get back to their home in North-East Arnhem Land.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re raising funds to buy a reliable 4WD and cover the immediate costs to get the Gurruwiwis home safely and keep them connected to Country. This family are respected cultural custodians and Elders — getting them back to their homelands is about more than travel: it’s about cultural responsibility, ceremony, and caring for Country.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What we’re raising $15,000 for
</div>
<div>•	Vehicle purchase (reliable 4WD suitable for Arnhem Land roads): $10,000
</div>
<div>•	Fuel &amp; food for the return trip + initial maintenance &amp; spare parts: $3,000
</div>
<div>•	Minor repairs, safety gear (tyres, battery), and contingency: $2,000
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why this matters
</div>
<div>•	The Gurruwiwi family carry knowledge, song, and ceremony tied to their homelands. Their presence on Country is crucial for cultural practice and community wellbeing.
</div>
<div>•	A community-owned vehicle will allow them to travel to get home but also be used for ceremony, care for sacred sites, and continue cultural work — not just a one-off ticket home.
</div>
<div>•	Any extra funds (if we raise more) will go toward vehicle upkeep, fuel for ongoing cultural travel, and supporting community-led activities on Country.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How you can help
</div>
<div>•	Donate what you can — every dollar counts.
</div>
<div>•	Share this campaign with your friends, family and networks. A shared post reaches people who care.
</div>
<div>•	If you can’t donate, please send a message of support — we’ll share those with the family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Gurruwiwi family have welcomed many people into kinship and culture. Now they need a little help to return home and continue their work. Your support will mean they can get back to Country, to ceremony, and to the responsibilities they hold for future generations.
