Dillybag

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A dillybag or dilly bag is a traditional Australian Aboriginal bag, generally woven from the fibres of plant species of the Pandanus genus.[verification needed]. It is used for a variety of food transportation and preparation purposes.

Dilly comes from the Yagara word dili, which refers to both the bag and the plants from which it is made.[1]
