Yindyamarra

This stunning collection stands permanently at The Wetlands and features a number of significant Indigenous artefacts and symbols which were painted by local artists. The lead artist was West Wyalong’s Kheely Turner from Bundyi Yadhaa while Indigenous students from Ungarie Central School Ethan Robb, Allora Vinecombe, Joseph McKenzie, Madi Vinecombe, Archer Hale, Dean Hale and Mitchell Collins painted many of the artefacts with the help of Jon and Rhonda from Didgeridoos on Main. Meanwhile, a number of local students from Wyalong Public School have their handprints set in concrete on the slab surrounding the exhibition. Jon Juda of Digeridoos on Main in West Wyalong supplied the magnificent Digeridoos. The Yindyamarra display was officially opened by Bland Shire Council Deputy Mayor Rodney Crowe and New South Wales Aboriginal Land Council Wiradjuri Region Councillor Leeanne Hampton and followed by a brilliant performance on the didgeridoo from Charlie Dodds. The Yindyamarra display was developed by Bland Shire Council in conjunction with the West Wyalong Local Aboriginal Land Council utilising the Stronger Country Communities grant from the NSW Government. Additional funding support was provided by the NSW Country Arts Support Program - Create NSW.
