Garma Festival

Copy, Life in Australia 1 Minute

https://northernterritory.com/arnhem-land/events/garma-festival

Join them in the remote north of Australia as the Yolngu clans of Arnhem Land come together for a four-day celebration of art, music, dance, ceremony and song.

Hosted by the Yothu Yindi Foundation, Garma is like nothing you’ve experienced before, a place where the freshwater and saltwater meet, an opportunity for cross-cultural exchange.

Daily workshops give Garma guests the chance to immerse themselves in different aspects of Yolngu culture, while the Key Forum policy conference hosts discussions and debates on major issues. The stunning outdoor Gapan art gallery – lit up under the stars – is a sight to behold, while the daily bunggul (ceremonial dance) at sunset is not to be missed.

Auntie, Sister. Grandmother, Great-Grandmother, Mother and Wife of German Descent I've lived in Australia since 1959 together with my husband Peter. We have four children, eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. I started blogging because I wanted to publish some of my childhood memories. I am blogging now also some of my other memories. I like to publish some photos too as well as a little bit of a diary from the present time. Occasionally I publish a story with a bit of fiction in it. Peter, my husband, is publishing some of his stories under berlioz1935.wordpress.com

  3. I agree, Ivor, it is a fabulous festival! 🙂
    I am glad that the link seems to be working alright.
    But what about all that stuff that I was unable to wipe out! It shows my lack in computer knowledge. For some reason I thought it would be nice if I could open up the map of the area and show it. Now look what happened!
    I hope a lot of people have the opportunity to listen to the speech the prime minister made today.

  4. Yes, Jan, I would love to be there right now too. At least via the internet I can experience some of it. There was a problem yesterday evening when my ABC website was unresponsive for quite some time. It had crashed!
