Students and staff came together to learn about Country, and to share bush tucker with the backdrop of our beautiful natural environment at Callaghan campus as inspiration. Artworks were created from personal responses to place, while students and sta listened to song and stories. All these parts came together to make the whole, a communal artwork to beautify the Wollotuka Indigenous learning space at Auchmuty Library.

The Collaborative artmaking/ placemaking workshops were instigated by Aunty Bronwyn Chambers, Elder in Residence at the Wollotuka Institute, University of Newcastle.

With special thanks to Dr Ray Kelly for the name Parray Yayirri Awabakal translation for right across the land.
