'Ysola Best dedicated much of her life to researching and documenting her Indigenous heritage and having recognised the role that her family played in the development of the Gold Coast, southeastern Queensland. Her ancestors and traditional custodians of the Gold Coast were the Kombumerri families of the Yugambeh speakers in an area which included Logan, Albert, Nerang and Coomera Rivers and Tallebudgerra Creek. Ysola spent twenty years researching her Kombumerri culture so that it could be passed on to future generations.' (Introduction)
