GARMA Festival 2024

    August 8, 2024

    East Arnhem Regional Council was pleased to take more than 60 students from Nhulunbuy High School to the GARMA Festival 2024.


    They arrived for the Welcome and Opening of Key Forum and were able to participate in multiple activities throughout the day including the 'Education Expo & Cultural Activities' and 'The Dhupuma College Legacy, Looking Up, Looking Forward' creative forum. Big thanks to Culture College for the fantastic workshops.


    The GARMA Festival, hosted by the Yothu Yindi Foundation showcases traditional miny’tji (art), manikay (song), bunggul (dance) and story-telling. This was a great opportunity for students to engage, learn and celebrate Yolngu Life and Culture.


    Thanks to our superstar East Arnhem Regional Council team who assisted today: Judi (Sobering Up Shelter Coordinator), Kara (Regional Manager - Children & Library Services), Kiyarnie (Fleet Administration Officer), Renee (Community Patrol Coordinator) and CEO Dale Keehne.
