Milingimbi is one of over 20 islands known as the Crocodile Islands and is around 500 kilometres east of Darwin. Milingimbi has produced some of the most memorable cultural material; and like a seed pod, its disbursement has stretched across the land and sea to faraway places like here in Perth. This pulse of culture continues to enrich all our lives and is evident in every bark and Larrakitj on show today.
The Berndt Museum has published an occasional paper in conjunction with the exhibition, written by Dr Vanessa Russ, available via the LWAG Shop.
