Dolobbo is the bininj (Aboriginal) kunwok (language) word for the bark of the stringy bark tree (Eucalyptus tetrodonta). Dolobbo has many uses in West Arnhem Land, practical uses include, roofing for shelter, canoes which bininj people used to cross floodplains in search of eggs such as magpie geese and saltwater crocodile and bark painting.  The wood of the tree is also used for tools such as spears and digging sticks, while hollow trees were made into didgeridoos and coffin logs, the tree itself however is a calendar tree as flowers signal the beginning of the dry season  To shape dolobbo, the bark is heated up over fire, excess bark scrapped off and flattened using weights, where it will dry into shape and sometimes treated using natural resins. It is then painted, traditionally using ochres and natural pigments.
