Lelarnie is a Bundjalung woman, born at Mullumbimby in 1973. She grew up at Yelgun on a farm with some of her aunts, uncles and cousins living close by. She later moved to Ocean Shores with her two children.
In 2006 Lelarnie joined an Adult Community Education (ACE) basket weaving course for Indigenous women at Brunswick Heads. The group meets weekly and has been invited to exhibit at Robina Town Centre and at a number of festivals. In 2008 they found a quiet spot at Splendour in the Grass Music Festival where they sat and wove. Lelarnie has been invited to tutor a group of non-Indigenous women planning to do an ACE course.
