Throwback to the launch of the East Arnhem Regional Mural in Nhulunbuy
2 November 2023
Thank you to all who attended the official launch of the East Arnhem Regional Mural in Nhulunbuy.
Witiyana Marika led the traditional Buŋul welcoming ceremony, followed by a moving address by Marpalawuy Marika, a key Councillor for the Gumurr Miwatj Ward of East Arnhem Regional Council.
A short film was then shown of how community members were engaged from across the region, to develop and then create the mural, with five unifying themes.
The making of the mural shows well how we Yolngu and Warnindilyakwan Yolngu are connected and bonded with our Balanda (non-Indigenous) wawas (brothers) and yapas (sisters).
As Marpalawuy Marika said to all gathered "we are stronger when we are united together".
