Maningrida comes together for NAIDOC Week

In celebration of NAIDOC Week’s theme ‘Because of Her We Can’ and Maningrida’s strong women, WARC Youth, Sport and Recreation helped bring the women of Maningrida enjoyed ladies-only intergenerational feast for the belly, bones, eyes and soul last Friday at Malabam’s beachside Aged Care Facility.
Set against the million dollar sunset over the Liverpool River, ladies young, old and in between came together to share a locally gathered bush tucker barbecue of fish, buffalo and mud mussel as well as a damper competition and loads of other goodies. Later in the evening, Jinu Matthews from Artback Australia facilitated a Bollywood dance workshop that saw all generations dancing and laughing together. 
Team work makes the dream work – big thanks to Malabam Aged Care, GREATS Youth Service, BAC Fishermen, Artback and Norma from Bodyfit for her support at NAIDOC Week barbecue and pool movie night.
