Gurruuja the whale came from the Milky Way...


Gurruuja the whale came from the Milky Way bringing along all living creatures and shaping the land. Humming musical notes on the trail.

So goes the mural in Gumbaynggirr country, Scotts Head Public School.


Many creatures inhabit this school, giving the place a very special ambiance.


Outside, hot suburbia spreads, rejecting the local environment.

Big chunks of coast and gentle green hills populated with bio-diversity are to be flogged off. What would the inveterate composer say?


Update:
Images: A comment from the 23.2.19 gave us a reminder to mention the mural artist Nelli Gallop that did the art works on the Scotts Head primary School (above pictures). The name of the painter was not known to us when we admired the beautiful images on the public building at the time. Apologies.

    1. The name of the artist was not known to us at the time when we took the pictures of the public building. We now added the name of the mural artist Nelli Gallop to the article. Thanks for pointing this out.
