Gumang Mapu (magpie goose egg hunting) hoodie

While it might be rare for the mercury to drop below 30 degrees in Ramingining, these trackpants will keep you looking cool at any temperature. In this design, George Milpurrurru has depicted men in bark canoes collecting Gumang Mapu (magpie goose eggs), which are sacred to the Ganalbingu people. To the east of the Arafura Swamp is a freshwater billabong which is said to have been made by the Goose Spirit and is in the shape of a goose nest. As a result, the geese, their eggs and their nests are sacred.

Why Warriors by Richard Trudgen

“Many books have been written about the Yolgnu people of Arnhem Land. This one is very different. It speaks about the real situation that we face every day, a reality that is hard for people of another culture to imagine.” – Rev. Dr. Djiniyini Gondarra OAM.

Why Warriors Lie Down and Die is essential reading for anyone interested in indigenous peoples. It provides hope and new direction for those simply searching for answers as to why ‘the problems’ seem to persist in Aboriginal communities. It also offers insights for those who want a greater understanding of the issues involved in achieving true reconciliation. 

First published in 2000.

Didj (Key: D#, Toot: A)

Key: D#
Toot: A

Didjeridus from this region are made in the West Arnhem style. Called Mago, they’re different and special and follow the tradition made famous by Beswick’s Mago Master, elder David Blanasi.Ghunmarn didjeridus are hand cut by Aboriginal people on Aboriginal land. They are drilled out naturally by termites, not by machines. Top quality musical instruments, they are used in ceremony and performance and feature traditional designs handed painted with a grass brush. Supplied with natural sugar-bag wax mouthpieces, these are the genuine article.Didjeridus from Ghunmarn Culture Centre are hand-cut from the woolybutt tree and naturally termite eaten. Some cheaper didjerdius can be drilled out by machine. If you want to be sure yours is termite-eaten look inside, if it is a bit rough the termites have been at work, smooth interiors are a sign of drilling. Ghunmarn artists travel considerable distances on foot to find the just right woolybutt tree. Good instruments are hand-cut and taken back to camp to be worked, shaped, sanded and tuned.Most Ghunamrn didjeridus are high pitch D, low pitch D, F, C or G. The longer the dij the lower the pitch, a shorter didj will give a higher sound.
