(Re-setting the balance after my last rather 'soppy' post, something a little more earthy)...
Not all aboriginal art is painted on wood+bark...
Art from Yolngu artists in North East Arnhem Land is emerging on metal scraps and discarded signs...https://t.co/FK0r9I0AXT

Christmas to an aboriginal community...

In 2011, the remote community of Gapuwiyak gave Darwin the chance to share in a Yolngu Christmas. For the Yolngu, Christmas is marked as a time to 'make present' ancestral spirits (brirrimbirr) and to infuse the living with a renewed sense of purpose.https://t.co/ifyXoHPWLp pic.twitter.com/4AN7aN4Nou

seasonal workers from Vanuatu...

After 2 weeks in hotel quarantine, 162 seasonal workers from Vanuatu begin work at Northern Territory mango farms. Workers earn up to $25/hour on Australian farms — about 9 times the $2.70 minimum Vanuatu wage. https://t.co/OdinoXrxLo

Vanuatu is a country with no cases of COVID19
Why can't these workers quarantine on farm? Or like travellers from #NZ not have to quarantine at all?
NTGov says this is a FedGov decision... the FedGov say it's the NTGov's decision.
Someone is wrong🤔 2/2
