Cut and Paste from Article

As part of a current expansion of this article .. I have cut and paste the following extracts (which were without necessary in text citations) here .. perhaps to be later written in to expanded version:

Survival

It is thought that the Djabugay were present in the Kuranda region for more than 10,000 years. Their movement through the rainforest (or bama) was through tracks. Prior to European settlement, there was an estimated 4,000 to 5,000 Djabugay.

Djabugay Dreaming

The Djabugay believe that Buda-dji, a carpet snake carved the Barron River out as well as its creeks between the coast and Atherton Tablelands.

Rewording?

"who are the original custodians" sounds more like a political term, I suggest it should be "who are the original occupants" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blacklord (talk • contribs) 09:29, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
