The story
Garma Festival in Gulkula
Garma is Australia's largest annual gathering centred on Aboriginal culture, held each year at the Gulkula ceremonial site in northeast Arnhem Land and hosted by the Yothu Yindi Foundation. Over four days it combines bunggul ceremonial dance, traditional art and song with a public forum on Indigenous policy attended by political and community leaders, though some ceremonial elements remain restricted to Yolngu participants rather than open to all visitors.
Garma is widely described as Australia's largest annual gathering of Aboriginal people and culture, held each year at Gulkula, a ceremonial site on the Gove Peninsula in northeast Arnhem Land roughly forty kilometres from Nhulunbuy.
