Gay'wu Group of Women is the 'dillybag women's group', a deep collaboration between several Yolngu women and three non-Aboriginal women over a decade. Sisters Laklak Burarrwana, Ritjilili Ganambarr, Merrkiyawuy Ganambarr-Stubbs and Banbapuy Ganambarr are elders in the most influential Aboriginal community in Australia, the Yolngu of northern Arnhem Land. Each is a community leader in her own right: Laklak is a caretaker for the Gumatj clan, founder of the family's successful tourism business Bawaka Cultural Experiences and has been awarded an honorary doctorate from Macquarie University; Merrki is principal of Yirrkala school; Ritjilili works for Miwatj Health and Bawaka Cultural Experiences; Banbapuy is an author, artist, weaver and teacher. Their daughter Djawundil Maymuru has been on the board of Laynapuy Homelands Aboriginal Corporation and is a key member of Bawaka Cultural Experiences. The sisters have collaborated on a series of cultural and research projects with Associate Professors Kate Lloyd and Sandie Suchet-Pearson from Human Geography at Macquarie University, and Associate Professor Sarah Wright from Geography and Development Studies at the University of Newcastle. They are all co-authors of the book Welcome to My Country.
