Bifold Emu Feather

Overview

A brushed aluminium bifold emu feather. Koondoola is Noongar for Place of Emus.

Historical information

Bi-fold Emu Feather, created by Si Hummerston, and located in the foyer at Koondoola Community Centre makes reference to the meaning of the Noongar word 'Koondoola' being 'Place of Emu'. This stunning work is created of polished aluminium with areas of translucent colour that seem to change as you walk past. The Emu has an unusual double plumed feather structure. The emu and its cousin the cassowary are the only birds in the world that have two feathers of the same length originating from one quill.
