Linguist Harold Koch and Native Title Researcher Grace Koch recently visited Muurrbay following the Native Title Conference in Coffs Harbour. Harold has been a great supporter of Muurrbay over the years, in particular by reading early drafts of  Amanda Lissarrague’s Gathang  and Hunter River- Lake Macquarie dictionary-grammars, as well as having valuable input in the Handbook of Aboriginal Languages of NSW and the ACT. They stopped in on the Gumbaynggirr language class, and were pleased to see the latest publication, the Yaygirr Dictionary and Grammar.
