Kadidjiny Djet

During the July School Holidays, local indigenous artist Jade Dolman of J.D. Penagke painted a large-scale mural depicting her intepretation of 'Mirrabooka' and incorporating native flowers. Click here to read an interview with the artist.

Kadidjiny Djet means learning from the flowers. In Indigenous culture, when certain flowers would bloom, it would indicate when specific animals or foods were ready for collection. 

See the mural outside the Gloria Jeans entrance, off Sudbury Road.
