Drawing Us Together - 2023 Winners
Goulburn Square is on Gandangara and Ngunnawal country, we pay our respect to the traditional owners, their elders past & present, and value their care and custodianship of these lands.
To celebrate NAIDOC Week 2023, we partnered with author Bianca Stawiarski, and our local schools to create a community story book. Bianca Stawiarski is a Badimaya Badimia and Ukrainian woman from South Australia, Bianca is a coach, speaker, lecturer, best-selling and international author.
The story ‘Gami Winda and Dyindi Dyndi’, is based on the 2023 NAIDOC Message ‘For Our Elders’, focusing on listening and connecting to country and discovering the stories of your elders.
Throughout the July School Holidays, we invited you, our much-loved Goulburn community, to have your say and vote on your favourite of 70 illustrations created by local student artists to be featured in the community storybook. We received overwhelming support with 195 votes over the two-week period and thank all the talented student artists who contributed illustrations.
