Gratitude for Australia woven into traditional cloth

A women's weaving cooperative in Timor-Leste (formerly known as East Timor) has presented a series of ceremonial cloths to Australia to mark the peace-keeping effort there in 1999 and 2000.

The textiles were commissioned from the cooperative by the Australian War Memorial, and were presented to the Australian embassy in the Timor-Leste capital Dilli. They have now arrived in Canberra where they will go on display at the War Memorial.
