Lorraine Connelly-Northey
Narrbong-galang

Each narrbong exists within a network that generates strength in its connectedness – a vessel for an individual node of wisdom that through sharing and exchange becomes enriched. There is wisdom here pertaining to land management, to histories of rivers, to harvesting, medicine, astronomy and language. But still it is invisible.
