The circular stone formation at the centre of this mural known as The Gathering Circle is a tribute to Wurundjeri Culture. The circle is a welcoming and inclusive physical space to share thoughts, knowledge and ideas.

The black and green lines move in a circular motion resembling a river, and local flora and fauna are delicately positioned to reflect the Wurundjeri seasons, incorporating flowers and animals from the surrounding landscape.  

“The Gathering Circle” was commissioned by Nillumbik Shire Council in collaboration with the Artist and in consultation with Wurundjeri Elder Aunty Judy Nicholson.
