Site Description:
This unit of work was designed around the Australian Museum’s Garrigarrang nura exhibition. Garrigarrang nura means sea country in Eora language. The
Eora people traditionally lived around the Sydney basin area- where the Museum is situated. For the Eora people, the sea country encompasses Australia’s
coastline and has an immense impact on their livelihoods, culture, language, and spiritual traditions.
An ongoing theme throughout the sea country exhibition was sustainability as the Eora people lived in a sustainable manner in the basin area for ten of
thousands of years.
