Country
Henrietta Marrie's country within local Aboriginal tradition, to which she holds some property rights under Native Title law, is that country that was once wholly possessed, occupied, used and enjoyed by 'King' Ye-i-nie' and the Walubarra Yidinji families generally, as follows:
The area of the foreshore of the City of Cairns was traditionally known as Gimuy - after the Slippery Blue Fig Tree. The traditional lands of the Gimuy Walubara Yidinji People extend south of the Barron River to Wrights Creek (south of Edmonton), west into the ranges behind Cairns, and east into Trinity Inlet, including Admiralty Island, to the adjacent waters of the outer Great Barrier Reef. The lands in the Cairns suburb of Woree, close to Admiralty Island and Trinity Inlet, were the principal traditional camping grounds of the Gimuy Walubara Yidinji people.
