Context: Artwork for Sydney Metro Northwest Places Creative Hoarding Program led by Landcom. Currently on view at Tallawong Station, Rouse Hill NSW.

Near the Casuarinas, along the creek, is a safe place. We will find each other there. It is good to see you on Dharug land... Budyari Naawunya Darug Nurrawa.

This artwork shares Darug/Dharug and English words about forests and feeling good in a place. These are superimposed over Casuarina needles and leaf shadows as Black Cockatoos fly overhead. For Dharug people, trees are recognised as people and maintain a unifying presence in the landscape, holding and sharing information about the places we all live.

The artists live and learn on Dharug land and hold a deep love and respect for their environment. Their words help them to grow and transform alongside their communities.
