KAMBI – Fashion Collection, Lila Creek – Janbal Print
I am a Nyungkul woman from Shipton’s Flat, my mother’s Country. My dad was a Kaanju man from the Coen area.
This Janbal print represents the Quandong tree which grows in my country. I have been collecting and eating Janbal since I was a young girl.
