This polo is manufactured with yarns made from recycled PET bottles (approx 14-16 of them). It is printed with high-quality carcinogen-free pigment inks. No cancer-causing chemicals and undesirable surfactants.

Zero plastic
We pack your threads in recyclable acid-free tissue paper and use only plant-based home compostable mailers, at no extra cost. By sending your parcel with our delivery partner Australia Post, you’re supporting their carbon-offset projects that have positive environmental and social impacts. Since 2019, their carbon neutral parcel delivery initiative is equivalent of taking 75,000 cars off the road – or roughly 200,000 tonnes of emissions.

HEAR THEIR STORIES. SUPPORT THEIR DREAMS. WEAR THEIR ART.

GABAR NGURAMBANG

(pronounced: ga-bar nar-rum-bung)
Green Country - A tribute to my Elders

Created by First Nations artist and storyteller Maria Watson-Trudgett, a Wiradjuri woman, currently residing in Meeanjin Brisbane, QLD).

Over the generations, my Elders have played an important role in my life. Their lived experiences and their teachings have shaped the person I am today. I draw strength from their struggles, hardships, and the racism they endured, and I continue to draw strength from their determination to survive. I am empowered by their teachings, activism, knowledge, and wisdom, all of which have paved the way for generations to come.

Now that I am an Elder, their determination and resilience have propelled me on my journey of sharing cultural knowledge and my passion for positively influencing people’s attitudes and awareness of First Nations peoples and diverse cultures. Our Elders are trailblazers, leaders, nurturers, and survivors. My Elders, My Culture, My Community.

Maria shares her cultural knowledge via; art, and the story behind the artwork, and in a professional capacity as a ‘Cultural Consultant and First Nations Strategic Advisor’.

Her paintings are inspired by her connections to Wiradjuri Country.
