Bunjil the Eagle: Art and Storytelling

On Friday May 20th, ten students from Senior S and Senior IG, who were selected from an opt-in ballot, walked to Blackburn Lake visitors centre to participate in the Whitehorse Reconciliation Advisory Committee’s Bunjil Schools Project. There they created their own Bunjil puppet with Renate Crow, a local artist, and learnt about Bunjil and local Wurundjeri culture from Uncle Bill Nicholson, a Wurundjeri Elder with the Wurundjeri Tribe Land and Compensation and Cultural Heritage Council.
