Valmai Smith, descendant of Fred Ross. I am proud to have been apart of the Woppaburra TUMRA for the past 2 years. I joined the TUMRA after being asked by my Mother, Frances Gala – a founding member of the TUMRA. It is an honour to keep her life work going in protecting Woppaburra sea country on behalf of grandfather Ross.
I am currently studying Occupational Health at Central Queensland University. It’s fulfilling to be able to use my skills gained at university to help manage Woppaburra country.
