Banumbirr is the Morning Star, Venus, which rises in the east each day just before dawn, heralding the daylight, bringing the sun and warmth to the earth, generating life.”
Paul Buwangbuwang Gurruwiwi, like his late father Malu Gurruwiwi, the world renowned custodian of the Banumbirr, now sees himself as an ambassador, a bridge between balanda (white) and Yolgnu (north east Arnhem Land Aboriginal) people. As the next custodian of the Morning Star (Banumbirr) ceremony he is conscious of transferring his knowledge to a wider community.”
