Seven years of trauma at Woorabinda. Pastor Victor Wenke ministered to the Woorabinda evacuees and Pastor Ivan Roennfeldt spearheaded the return of the Guugu Yimithirr people. Alick Cameron, Paddy McIvor and George Bowen emerged as the community leaders. With the assistance of the Lutheran opposition MLA Joh Bjelke-Petersen (who retained an interest in the Lutheran mission), they achieved the eventual return of the community to Hope Vale.
