This specially commissioned artwork was created by DJ Mate, an award-winning contemporary Aboriginal artist. DJ Mate was inspired by the traditional stories of the Dharawal People as told by Frances Bodkin in her book The Annual Cycle The Season of Ngoonungi. Start your journey on the left side of the box as the Ngoonumgi, the Grey-Headed Flying Fox, gather in vast numbers as the sun sinks below the horizon. Then we follow the possum footprints to the front panel of the box as the snarling, growling sounds of their nocturnal battles can be heard. Finally, as we move to the right side of the box, gentle rains are falling. Restrictions on eating crabs, yabbies, shellfish, prawn and lobsters are lifted and feasting on the beaches occurs. A description of each illustration and its significance is included on the back so you can share this beautiful story with your class.

Travelling the Flow of Learning. The artwork on the box has been created by Mitch Francis, a Gunditjmara and Bundjalung man from the Illawarra Region of NSW.

Mitch’s artwork, titled “Flow of Learning”, beautifully depicts the journey of a child through education:

“Passing through the centre of the artwork is the child’s journey along the winding path of education and learning. The connecting blue lines lying behind symbolise all the places that each child visits throughout their own educational journey. The ‘U’ shapes along the sides of the design represent all the people who have been supportive in this journey.” 

Dimensions: 17cmW x 25cmD x 28cmH (back) and 17cmH (front).
