Binak Biik

This project Binak Biik (basket Country) honours women and their custodianship of Country, recognising that most habitat on the basalt plains has been lost since invasion due to farming. The new parkland at Telford Park All Abilities Trail in Bacchus Marsh features a series of  bronze baskets transformed from Aunty Kim Wandin’s basket weaving. Through our work, we honour Biik (Country) by practicing reciprocity and planting indigenous plants to restore habitat wherever we can.
