Territory Day lights up Maningrida skies

In a true demonstration of community collaboration, Maningrida’s skies exploded, twinkled and dazzled with an incredible 15 minute fireworks display following an afternoon of feasting, bouncing, painting and playing in celebration of Territory Day on July 1. 
The football oval played host to hundreds of Maningrida locals and more than a few visitors keen to share some fresh caught fish, bounce around the jumping castle, brave the inflatable crocodile obstacle course, transform their face with paint and, of course, behold the incredible pyrotechnic display.
Big thanks to all who were involved, namely West Arnhem Regional Council, the BAC fishermen, for catching and cooking up a storm; Malabam & Strong Communities for Children who brought us the inflatable fun, GREATS Youth Service for all the hands on deck, Babbarra volunteers who helped paint faces and the safety and support provided by MERGS, the police and health clinic. 
The incredible fireworks display was made possible by Maningrida’s Local Authority, and credit must also go to the amazing Howard & Sons for the epic masterpiece of fireworks and Darwin Castles for their all the bouncing and jumping good times on their inflatable toys.
