Guringay Gloucester is a cultural heritage organisation representing descendants of three significant Aboriginal family bloodlines connected to Gloucester, Barrington, Copeland and Rawdon Vale areas:

• Jack Springheel and his descendants

• Jack Cook and Jessie Brummy and their descendants

• Susan Russell (née Cook), her descendants
   

Each family bloodline has its own circle of Elders and family advisers. This ensures that cultural enquiries are considered by the appropriate descendants and that no person or family speaks on behalf of another bloodline without consultation.

What Happens After You Contact Us?

An automatic email will be sent to acknowledge that your enquiry has been received.

Enquiries involving family history, cultural knowledge or cultural authority may need to be referred to the appropriate Elders and descendants. This consultation process requires careful consideration and may take up to 30 days before a written response can be provided.

If we anticipate that your enquiry will take longer than 30 days, we will contact you and provide an updated response timeframe.
 

Cultural Authority and Permission

Submitting an enquiry does not provide permission to reproduce, publish, adapt, distribute or commercially use family histories, photographs, Dreaming stories, traditional knowledge or other cultural material.

Written permission must be obtained from the appropriate descendants and Elders’ advisory circle before cultural or family material is used.
 

Thank you for respecting our Elders, family histories, cultural knowledge and continuing connections to

Country.
