Outreach to Kowanyama

 

Now you may wonder just where Kowanyama is – well, wonder no more.

Kowanyama is a town on the Gulf of Carpentaria side of Cape York Peninsula in Far North Queensland, Australia. At the 2006 census, Kowanyama had a population of 1,017. The Aboriginal people who live in this community include Kokominjena, Kokoberra and Kunjen groups, amongst others. In their overarching Yir-Yoront language, Kowanyama means “The place of many waters.”

Ally Waria (Brisbane) and a few others have been invited to visit Kowanyama and bring their testimonies and a concert over the weekend 1-2nd Oct 2011. One person has already been baptised in Cairns as they travel by 4WD from Cairns to Kowanyama.
