In Photos: The Garma Festival

Families from across Arnhem Land come together for the annual celebration of Yolngu culture and we’ve gathered the best photos that represent this festival. From Gumatj men who officially open the Garma festival in north-east Arnhem Land, moving towards the bunggul (ceremonial dancing) ground to light the gurtha (a sacred fire) to Yolngu elders who run workshops at the Garma festival where visitors can learn different aspects of the local culture, these pictures will amaze you.
