NESA CONFERENCE WINNER!

Congratulations to Judi McConville, the winner of our giveaway at the NESA Conference last week! Judi took home this deadly painting titled The Emu Clan by the talented Lurlene Langton Chapman.

About the Artist
Lurlene Langton Chapman is a proud Wakka Wakka woman originally from Cherbourg, now living on Jarowair and Gaibal Country in Toowoomba. Her art beautifully captures the spirit of acknowledgment of Country, aiming to inspire communities and young Indigenous people to connect with culture.

The Emu Clan
Meaning: The Emu Clan represents a group united by kinship and the Emu Spirit's legacy, symbolizing ancestral guidance, unity, and wisdom.

Storyline/Poem
"As we walk in the footsteps of the emu,
We are reminded of our ancestral ties.
Listen to the land and you will become wise.
It guides us through life's mysteries and trials.
For in the heart of the outback, where the emu roams free,
Just be patient and listen to the ancestors, and you will see
That they are here to guide and protect us
And strengthen us to what we will be."

Thank you to Lurlene for sharing her incredible work, and congratulations again to Judi!
