A First Nations Journey Around Australia's Traditional Place Names.
From Gudanji/Wakaja artist Ryhia Dank comes 'Learning Country', a vibrant and contemporary picture book that celebrates the traditional names of well-known Australian places, such as Gadigal (Sydney) and Lunawuni (Bruny Island). Ryhia Dank grew up in the remote Northern Territory and now lives in contemporary urban Australia. Her unique visual language—what she calls “storywork”—draws on traditional pattern and design to share culture, memory, and identity.
Laugh joyfully like a kookaburra in Canberra.
Watch your toes turn red in Rubibi.
And walk softly under the bunya pines in Meeanjin!
