I began talking about him and how I had lost two of the pieces, then Bekka said, oh I think I have a bit of him over here and Claire said, yes I think I put a piece of him in here amongst the eels. Then the three pieces of this little snake/worm/eel were rescued and he was put back together. what an adventure he has had! |

more information about the project
Kororoit Creek -
Wurundjeri Acknowledgement Project 2015Brimbank Council have approved a 'Community Strengthening Grant for this project which will cover the costs of materials and consultation and involvement of Wurundjeri Elders with the project.
Debbie has been working with Wurundjeri Elders to design the mural. The theme of the mural is the six seasons that the Wurundjeri people acknowledged and organised their year of activities and food gathering around. This theme relates specifically to their use of the Kororoit Creek and their careful management of the natural environment so that it could sustain them and continue to regenerate. The educational aims are to give children an understanding of the Indigenous perspective of the environment and to acknowledge the heritage of the local land and the Wurundjeri People.
This project will be an artwork made onto the concrete cylinder that is down by the Kororoit Creek where many artefacts of the Wurundjeri People have been found.
Debbiewas supported in this project byBrimbank Council departments of Community Planning and Engagement and Sustainability and Environment. Four local schools are involved in making the ceramic pieces for this artwork; Albion Primary School, St Theresa's School, Ardeer Primary and Mother of God School.
here is our cylinder, on which the mural will be made using ceramics and mosaic. It is seven metres around and 120 centimetres high.
