Christmas and New Year hours 24-25

by Binh Phan • 18 December 2024

Mala'la Christmas and New Year hours for 2024-25.

Lúrra Festival

10 October 2024

Maningrida celebrated the Lúrra Festival on the 20th – 22nd September 2024. An event that showcases the amazing culture and music of the Top End Arnhem region. The festival kicked off with a bunggul, fashion event, sports, and live bands performance. Our staff participated in this 3-day event: the Men’s Shed team with the spear throwing competition; Maningrida Dance organised a Dance Competition with J-MILLA as the guest judge; Women’s Hub and Menzies team set-up a booth during the Saturday market stalls and services; and the clinic staff as first aid volunteers. Truly, everyone had fun, our staff had a wonderful time, and had the opportunity to immersed into the rich culture of Maningrida. Special thanks to Njamarleya Justice Group for giving us the opportunity to be part of the Lúrra Festival and all Mala’la staff who volunteered. “The Lúrra shows us, like our old people, that having deep law, culture and skill that is full of knowledge, is important for our people and our future. Communication and working together is very important. Its men and women, young and old working and learning together all day and all night. Everyone, including balanda, who come to our community should be learning our culture so we can work together, both ways, with respect.”
