Although I greatly appreciate your work on this article and bringing it up to a higher standard, there are some serious issues with this article that prevent it from meeting the GA criteria.

• Verifiability: This is the major one. Currently, significant portions of the article are not verifiable because the reader is not capable of finding the source. For instance, see the table titled "Yugambeh clans". Entire rows have no citations, other rows have tags. Citing books without page numbers is not helpful, because no one has time to read an entire book to track down the claim.
• Reliable sources: To make matters worse, not all the sources cited are reliable for what they are being cited for. A tourist booklet (Nerang Heritage Walk Booklet) is not usually a reliable source. I'm concerned as well by the reliance on cultural centers and self-published works by employees of said centres. The SPS exception is usually intended for academics rather than those who are engaged in advocacy work. Reports to local government (e.g. Logan City Council) by a consulting group are another self-published source (did the city edit them before publication?). It looks like these reports were compiled from anthropological reports, why not cite the scholarship directly?
• Quality of writing: This needs improvement in areas. I would recommend uniting short choppy paragraphs and axing most of the block quotes to bring the article into compliance with WP:Quotation.

As an aside, in general you should only have the article up for one type of review at a time. Most forms of review are starved of reviewers, and this ensures that their time can be used most productively. The usual progression is GA->A-class->Featured.
