Ray Thomas and Tiriki Onus

Koori Mural

Installation of over 50 individual sculptural carved wooden, painted elements

This community art installation was created by Koori artists Ray Thomas (Gunnai) and Tiriki Onus (Yorta Yorta) and the children of Dolphin and Starfish Groups at Knox Garden PreSchool. It was commissioned by Jo Onus (Lin Onus' second wife) who was the teacher at the time and funded by an I.E.S.I.P grant for a Gunnai child attending in 2002. Originally installed at Knox Gardens preschool the mural was relocated to Berrabri Kindergarten in 2017. The works are currently on display at Marie Chandler MCHN, Park Cres Boronia
