Yalbalinga Cultural Garden
The new cultural garden was created in the courtyard of the Indigenous Higher Education Unit at the Strathfield Campus of ACU (Australian Catholic University). The gardens incorporate a Yarning Circle, Dancing Circle, Bush food & medicine, and tie together culture, spirituality, art and environment.
Materials for the project were sourced from throughout the eastern coast of Australia.
