The owners of a central Queensland business fail in their bid to trademark the traditional name of the Aboriginal bush medicine, Gumby Gumby.

Steve Kemp is an elder of the Ghungalu people around central Queensland who continues to practice traditional medicine.Mr Kemp said he is pleased the application has expired because it goes against the benevolent nature of Indigenous medicine.

"Mr James Hall, a Yirendali man is recorded as explaining the centrality of Gumbi Gumbi to Yirendali Dreaming: Prairie Creek," the article reads. "They courted and fell in love, and when the gumbi gumbi spirit lady fell pregnant, she gave birth, and the baby came out of the seed pod." "You'd drink it and boil the leaf up and drink it like tea to cure your cold, fix your tuberculosis, skin irritations.

Good.

There is no written Aboriginal language, no alphabet, no numbers.

Good. If only Adani had failed from stealing land from the Wangan and Jagalingou people. Shame on the nation. wjpeople stopadani

When was the 'Dreamtime', how do we know that's when it was, and how do we know this word was being used then?

Good!
