Comment:
 Dhimurru has been one of the most challenging jobs I have ever undertaken. Nothing can be taken for granted when working for an Aboriginal organisation and in a cross cultural context. Dhimurru's success is largely due to the tremendous patience and perseverance of the key Yolngu involved. It's a privilege to be part of the team.
