Gayarragi, winangali was compiled by John Giacon and David Nathan. It was launched on Monday 23 March by Professor Larissa Behrendt, to an enthusiastic audience of nearly 80 people, including many Gamilaraay and Yuwaalaraay people, at the Koori Centre, University of Sydney. It was produced as a CD-ROM but is also available by download (about 200MB, Win XP/Vista). It is free for individuals and Gamilaraay Yuwaalaraay organisations. Go to http://yuwaalaraay.org
