Contextual information
Marangaroo resident and Noongar artist, Courtney Hill, has translated thousands of years of local storytelling into a bespoke artwork, Nyitting Wanneroo, that takes people on a journey through the City of Wanneroo's Aboriginal history.
The large-scale canvas artwork, which forms part of the City's refreshed brand, brings the unique stories of the region's significant Aboriginal heritage to life.
Nyitting Wanneroo encourages the community to come together to learn about, understand and celebrate Aboriginal culture and build on the conversations around reconcillation.
It captures the artist's interpretation of the region during the Nyitting or Creation time for Noongar people, when the land was still, quiet and cold.
