What we’ve been up to in Term 3, 2018
We have teamed up with the ASRAC rangers in Ramingining who have been teaching us some useful skills like hunting for maypal (seashore creatures), spear making, collecting paperbark, making shelters, and collecting and using cycad nuts.
We go out on country every second Friday, and in between we have lessons at school where we focus on learning the yolngu language associated with our previous Learning on Country trip. In future we will try to post every week about what we have been doing.
Check out the photos below to see what we’ve been doing out and about around Ramingining area. (Scroll over photos for captions or click on them to see full screen)
