JINGI WAHLU WIDTHA (Welcome to Country)
Arakwal  indigenous  people have lived around the Cavvanbah (Byron Bay) area for 22,000 years.  Cavvanbah, as it was then known, was a meeting place for Arakwal and  other neighboring clans traveling to Cavvanbah from ​​Grafton in the South and Tweed Heads in the North. It seems amazing that Cavvanbah  is still a meeting place, but now with people traveling here from around the world.    
Captain Cook saw (and recorded) Arakwal Aboriginals walking along Seven Mile Beach in May 1770, these Aboriginals were part of the Bundjalung Aboriginal Nation.   In the 1860's their world changed drastically with Cedar-getters arriving, and gold miners in the 1870's.  In the 1880's land was claimed and cleared. Forests were replaced by grass or crops, native animals replaced by sheep and cattle. With disease, violence and hunger the Arakwal numbers were significantly reduced.    ​​
