KAMBI – Fashion Collection, Lila Creek – Baral 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 fabric print represents Bara which means tracks and what animals are travelling around. Some of the tracks we see are from kurriyala, snake, walkarr, lizard and kadar, wallaby.
