THE GADUBANUD INDIANS OCCUPY THE RAINFOREST NEAR CAPE OTWAY. THEIR NAME MEANS KING PARROT PEOPLE. THEIR IS NO DOCUMENTATED INTERACTION WITH THE GADUBANUD SINCE 1846. SOME MAY HAVE LIVED AT MISSIONS. THE GUNDIT MARA FOLKS ARE THE CUSTODIANS OF THE GADUBANUD LANDS. ABORIGINALS TODAY TRACE THEIR ANCESTORY TO GUDABANUD.
THE GADUBANUD TRADED SPEAR WOOD FOR GREEN STONE MINED BY THE WRUUNDJERI WHEN THEY MET AT CEREMONIES. THERE IS LITTLE ETHNOHISTORIC INFORMATION ON THE PEOPLE OF CAPE OTWAY. THERE ARE MANY MIDDENS HERE THAT SHOW A VARIETY DIET OF SHELLS, ABALONE, PERIWINKLE, ELEPHANT FISH, MUSSELS, AND LIMPETS. SEALS, EELS, DUCKS, TUBERS, BERRIES HAVE BEEN FOUND IN THEIR DIET.
THE GADUBANUD MAKE BARK CANOES, FOR USE IN RIVERS AND LAKES, AND OCEANS. IN THE 1830'S THEY AVOIDED INTERACTION WITH THE EUROPEANS. THEY HAVE 5 CLANS.
IN 1842 THE GADUBANUD ROBBED AN OUTSTATION FOR FOOD AND BLANKETS. BY 1846 AN ENGLISHMAN WAS CONTRACTED TO SURVEY THE NATIVES. ONE ENGLISHMAN WAS KILLED BY THE NATIVES.LATER IN 1846 SMITH FORMED A RELATIONSHIP IMPEDIMENT ON THE NATIVES. THEY KILLED A GROUP OF NATIVES AND IT WAS CALLED A MASSACRE. AND AS IS TYPICAL THIS GROUP STILL IS SURVIVING HERE.
