Pandanus grass weaving is a traditional practice amongst Daluk (Indigenous women) in Kakadu. First, Daluk gather pandanus leaves, stripping and preparing them. Then, using native berries, plants and flowers, the grass is dyed and hung in batches to dry. Through techniques passed down through thousands of years, the grass is intricately woven to create baskets, mats, or dilly bags.
