This  sedge grass grows from Bamaga to Melbourne and is the most universal traditional fibre used in indigenous east coast weaving

This dilly bag represent the oldest living tradition of fibre and heritage continuum in Australia

By 2000: there were only a handful of traditional weavers actively using lomandra

In Rhonda Brim's KOCA program: Keeping Our Culture Alive & with the Jumbun and Mossman weavers: this heritage has found a renaissance in FNQ and Cape York where it has been lost.

Used as a food preparation and gathering dilly bag: this fibre has up to a 7 year working life in traditional usage

Lomandra grass does not go mouldy when continually used to soak foods that need leaching in water prior to consuming.
