Comment: |
I love my job because of the inspiration of my father I want to continue to fulfil the vision statement of Dhimurru. To keep strong looking after both Yirritja and Dhuwa land. Mandaka is proud to be part of Dhimurru and the role that his father had in setting the vision for the organisation. Mandaka is a strong advocate of Dhimurru's bukmak approach - everyone working together. |
