Lomandra
We walk our Country to find the best grasses to weave with. The grass is beautiful, sharp and strong. We use our hands to sort and prepare the tough green leaves. Our process of cutting the grass to weaving a basket takes over a month. And we sit together and weave as our families have always done on Gamilaroi Country.
