Be sure to stop into the Council Chambers in Jerilderie Street to view the incredible mural gracing the walls of the chamber.
Meaning Coming Together, the mural measures a massive eight metres by four metres in size. It was created for the 2000 Olympic Games to provide a visual welcome to visitors for peace and safe travel. It was hung in Parliament House during the Games. The painting depicts various Aboriginal design elements including the Eaglehawk, which is the Barundji/Barkindji totem. It also depicts a white feather to symbolise safe travel, which is also a Barundji/Barkindji belief.
It was created by four Barundji/Barkindji artists: Elsie Black, Gertrude Gittins, Eileen Ballangarry and Sos Hawkins. These women can trace their family back at least 700 years as direct matriarchal descendants of the tribe.
