ABOUT:
Hello, my name is Noella Babui, I am the workshop supervisor and my job is to make sure everything runs smoothly on a day to day basis.

I am married to Francisco. We live at Four Mile suburb. I like hunting for mussels. In my spare time I like spending time at home - watching TV programs Murphy’s Law, the Bill and ABC News. I also like to watch AFL on TV - my team is Melbourne Demons.

I am in the Tiwi Women’s choir – Ngarukuruwala. We have performed at the Darwin Festival and earlier in 2008 we performed as a part of the Message Sticks Festival at the Sydney Opera house. Also we performed for the Pope at World Youth Day.
