MY COUNTRY CUNNAMULLA/KUNJA

Cunnamulla, meaning a long stretch of water, gets its name from the picturesque Warrego River which meanders past and is a popular spot for fishing and water sports. The main industries within the Shire are beef, fat lamb and wool production, apiary, grapes, wildlife harvesting, opal mining, and the ever-increasing Tourism Industry. Cunnamulla is serviced twice a week by Qld Rail from Brisbane and Skytrans from Brisbane and three times a week by Kynoch Coaches from Toowoomba.

Aboriginal art is a window into the rich tapestry of Indigenous Australian culture, embodying millennia of traditions and storytelling. The intricate layers of acrylics in such artwork not only add depth and texture but also symbolize the complex layers of history and spirituality that are intrinsic to Aboriginal life. The use of varnish not only protects the painting but also enhances the vibrancy of the colors, much like the resilience of the culture it represents. The inclusion of a wire for hanging and protective paper on the backside signifies the care and respect given to the artwork, ensuring its longevity for future generations to appreciate.
