ABOUT:
My name is Josepha Kantilla. I have worked at Bima Wear since it began in 1969. In 2009 I will have worked for 40 years at my job. I work with my younger sister Marita. She is our cutter. I enjoy our trips away. This year we went to WOMADelaide and met many interesting and nice people.

I like to go hunting for yuwuli (mangrove worm), piranga (long bum), and tukuwaringa (mussel).

I like watching TV - mainly AFL and Home and Away. My teams are Western Bulldogs and Irrimaru (Bulldogs)
