Billabong Parklands Artworks
Highlights
- Explore the Billabong Parklands, where local Aboriginal art connects you to the rich heritage of Campbelltown.
- Admire the symbolic bridge that embodies the land between the Georges and Nepean Rivers, enhancing your understanding of the landscape.
- Discover the vibrant entry artwork featuring centric circles, representing the Campbelltown community and its deep cultural roots.
- Engage with the Yirran Miigaydhu Weavers Group and local artists, fostering a genuine connection to Aboriginal artistry.
Artists Milne and Stonehouse worked with the Council and the local Aboriginal community to develop a vision for the Billabong Parklands.
The artworks at the Billabong Parklands were developed in consultation with key Aboriginal stakeholders, Yirran Miigaydhu Weavers Group and artists Danielle Mate and Maddison Gibbs.
The bridge acts as a symbolic connection at the heart of the landscape and draws on the notion of ‘the land between two rivers’, representing Campbelltown’s place between the Georges River and Nepean River.
The entry sign reads: Njirgangga dharidhamayi Dharawal nguradha (You are standing on Dharawal Country). The centric circles on the entry artwork represent the Campbelltown community while the Lyrebird footprints reference the totem animal of the Dharawal people.
