The Artwork

Keeping balance in the environment is central to our people’s way of thinking, being, and connection to spiritual and cultural identity.

Bila Ngurambang

(pronounced: bi-la nar-rum-bung)

Created by First Nations artist and storyteller Maria Watson-Trudgett, a Wiradjuri woman, currently residing on Turrbal Country.

Bila and Ngurambang, are words from Wiradjuri language, meaning river and country. Wiradjuri people, also known as ‘river people’, were skilled hunter–fisher–gatherers, who lived and moved along the rivers and surrounding landscape, sourcing food for survival and Caring for Country. For tens of thousands of years, First Nations people have managed their land and its inhabitants to ensure environmental harmony and sustainability. Keeping balance in the environment is central to our people’s way of thinking, being, and connection to spiritual and cultural identity.

The impacts of climate change are exacerbating our ability to protect and maintain significant biodiversity across Australia and the globe. Biodiversity is everyone’s responsibility. It is crucial to broaden our awareness, compassion, and respect to embrace all living creatures and the natural environment. Biodiversity will not be maintained through inaction - Stand with First Nations people to Care for Country.

Comfy and warm

Beautiful design, soft feel and snuggly. I’d probably rate it 5/5 for comfort and 4.5/5 for thickness/warmth. It’s going to get a lot of use. Very happy 😊

We're so happy you love your snuggly hoodie, Susan. Wear with pride! <3

Order came very late and l missed being able to wear it during reconciliation week, love the design but the style is very long.

Thank you for the feedback, Sue... and that's a shame to read that you weren't able to wear it to Reconciliation Week. Hopefully we can do better for you next time. :)
