Another Take over!
Creating awareness into reducing and eradicating the spread of Myrtle Rust before another take over.
A depiction of my country as if myrtle rust had taken over. This would have a devastating affect towards our native plants, foods, peoples and our homelands.
Our mountains are special to us, they hold cultural and spiritual significance.
Over the generations since colonialism, our Elders have taught us stories about our Dreaming.
Through maintaining our continual connection to our cultural and traditional practices in looking after Country.
We are meant to protect our peoples and homelands.
