We are the gods of the atoms that make up ourselves but we are also the atoms of the gods that make up the universe.

The Southern Cross - Ginibi

Gnibi is the Bundjalung word for 'black swan'. It is also the name the Bundjalung people gave to the star system, or constellation, that early European explorers called the Southern Cross.

The term Gnibi refers both to the black swan, in the ecological sense of it being nurtured and fed by the water-ways (now called the Northern Rivers region of NSW), and as food it provided to feed Bundjalung families; and also in reference to the spiritual association between Gnibi the constellation and Bundjalung Country and Peoples.

Ginibi is also the name of the Southern Cross University Aboriginal School.
