Strength Of Our Elders

Created by First Nations artist Emma Hollingsworth (Mulganai), a Kaanju, Kuku Ya’u and Girrimay woman.

"This artwork represents the strength, resilience and courage of my Elders. Those who withstood great adversity...so that I may be where I am today. My Elders inspired and led the way, taught me about my culture and showed me that culture could coexist with this shiny, ever-changing world. This painting is for my Elders, who comforted me and taught me so much about inner strength and how to stand tall in the face of adversity."

Beautiful shirt

My team mate and I got lots if compliments on this t shirt. It is very long in the XXL size that I bought. Mainly because I am short and XXL.

Exactly as described. Beautiful design.

Love the polo shirt. The artwork is beautiful and the shirt is exactly as it was described. I ordered a larger size than I needed just in case it was a small fit but this was unnecessary.

Dreamtime Design is Great

I purchased the dreamtime shirt due to its great design and the phenemonal artwork and dot work and the stories behind it. The red in the centre reminds me of the outback sands and the handprints with the aboriginal flag colours are a nice touch.
