Dhoongang- the Hastings River and its creatures was created by local Birpai Artist Angela Roberts, with all the creatures originally drawn by the Kids from Birpai Country group, during a workshop held in 2020 at the Bunyah Local Aboriginal Land Council.
The Hastings River was, and continues to be, central to the life and culture of our First Nation’s people sustaining countless generations prior to white settlement.
Just as the Birpai peoples have been custodians of the Hastings River for millennia, so now we are all caretakers for the future generations.
Pure joy as you wake to the sunrise. Awe as you make it to the snowy peak. A sense of adventure as you motor across red plains. The relief of rejuvenation as you wade into an alpine stream. Connection as you taste native, fragrant leaves. A sense of belonging as you return to your favourite holiday house. Freedom as you dash into the waves. Discover the endless feelings a visit to NSW can inspire.
