Ngarrert

8 May

Our work Ngarrert (frog) at the Hays Paddock All Abilities Playground in Kew features a Spotted Marsh Frog (Limnodynastes tasmaniensis) lovingly drawn and designed by Chris Joy and Aunty Kim Wandin and brought to life by the Sculpture Company. The frog has Woi-wurrung, Auslan, Braille and English discs amongst ochre-toned concentric circles on its back that represent waterholes.

This frog is part of a wider narrative telling the story of the frog’s life cycle, its cultural significance, and the ecological significance of wetlands. Lewis Wandin Bursill’s carving is featured in the playground in 2024.
