Week 3 Term 1
Nightcliff Primary School Newsletter
It’s Dalay (Monsoon) Season for Gulumoerrgin (Larrakia) country but we are still missing the predicted monsoon rains. The Biyamarrma (Pandanus) and Gwilirrimba (Sand Palm) are fruiting which means red dye can be sourced to dye natural fibres such as Denela (string bags) and Malarrmamba (Pandanus mats).
