Bobbinwinders Challenge 2024-2025 – Indigenous Inspirations!
“We learn about our history and our country from our elders and our community. We learn by going to our country, by living there and being there. We learn through the Tjunkurrpa yara — the Dreaming stories. We learn through songs and dance and paintings. . .”
When Pat and Kathleen returned from their sojourn to Australia, they both thought that taking inspiration from the amazing indigenous populations of Australia would be a great challenge for Bobbinwinders members. We hope that you, too, will be in spired by the beautiful art and meaningful stories of the indigenous people of Australia. We want to get as many of you participating as last year’s challenge.
