A lot of hard yakka they did, those two men, he said. In the 1950s and 60s they would travel to and from Darwin in an old truck to deliver rood and supplies. On the way back, sometimes they would have trouble getting bogged, and would walk a long way. From the 1950s to 1980s, Mr Nadjowh assisted church missionary societies in Oenpelli and Goomadeer, working as a point of contact between Indigenous people and missionary workers. He was a ceremony man, through painting and the visual arts, but he was also a church leader, ordained to hold communion and funeral services. Mr Garnarradj, who nominated Mr Nadjowh for the award, said it had been a privilege and great honour to be MC at the event. The families and relatives of old Timothy have been looking forward to it for quite some time, he said. I would like to thank Shane and the directors at Gunbalanya Meat Supply for contributing to the barbecue, and West Arnhem Regional Council staff Chrissie Nichols, Sharna Cropley and Greg Sheldon for helping to stage the event. I would also like to thank Chief Executive Officer Brian Hylands for his attendance. He said Mr Nadjowh was the second Indigenous person from the Gunbalanya community to receive an Order of Australia Medal, following on from Mr Wamud Nadadayal Nadjamerrek from Gubulwarnemyo outstation. gUnbaLanYa ELdEr honoUrEd Gunbalanyas Timothy Nadjowh OAM. Repairs to underground power are underway in Jabiru after a lightning strike burnt out wiring in the area. << FROM FRONT PAGE RESIDENTS in Jabiru may have noticed a lot of hands on deck along Civic Drive recently. PowerWater technicians are currently working to restore power to streetlights after a lightning strike burnt out underground wiring a few months ago. Streetlights affected include those along Jabiru Drive at the entrance to town; an area at the bottom of town near the Jabiru Golf Club; and several lights along Civic Drive. The replacement of a new electrical cable will be part of a upcoming major infrastructure rebuild expected to commence in early June, in conjunction with the allocation of funding from the Jabiru Town Development Authority.
