day trip

D A R W I N

We went to Darwin on the 5th august for a week of things 

which happened so long ago I can hardly remember what they were ....

one thing - the opening of the Yirrkala Drawings at CDU

with a ton of dancers from here who performed the most amazing

bunngul and made amazing speeches 

waiting for the opening to start

two things - the opening of Yuta (New) at Nomad Art - a selection 

of our prints by our young printmakers. We had to do another talk

three things - DJ Marika's graduation from 

ANKAAA Art workers Extension Program

four things - the Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair

we had a stall, we sold some barks and poles and worked the weekend 

five - Godut and Rebecca got their hair braided ... !

six things - the Telstra National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Art Award

where the talented Garawan Wanambi won the prize for best bark (see here)

we celebrated in style with pizza and soft drink on the balcony 

of their swanky apartment and took group photos

Godut and Rebecca with Yinimala (our chairperson at Buku) 

Gawirrin and his wife Manini

With Will and Kade

Will with DJ 

last thing - oyster and wine on the beach as the sunset, last night 

that was enough for one week ..
