😯💘 "Mun-dirra is the largest fish fence of its kind in the world, and #Australia’s largest-ever woven sculpture.

More than 35,000 threads from an estimated 4,400 #pandanus leaves have been used to make #Mundirra – all hand-harvested, dyed and woven by the women. If it were laid out as a single continuous thread, it would run to 56 kilometres."
