New outdoor artworks have been unveiled at Brambuk the National Park and Cultural Centre in Halls Gap, highlighting deep cultural connections to Grampians (Gariwerd) National Park.
The 'Yunguip beal' sculpture is central to the area alongside four large art panels created by Traditional Owners.
'Yunguip beal' depicts Bunjil as the creator of Gariwerd, hovering over a bark canoe decorated with images of the Banks brown butterfly, freshwater mussel shells, fish, and platypus.
Lead artist Gail Harradine, a Wotjobaluk, Jadawadjali and Djubagalk woman, said the piece draws on her family stories.
"First Peoples such as my ancestor, Pelham Cameron, traverse the waterways to fish," Ms Harradine said.
"The waterways connect with Tchingal (giant emu) and other creation stories for Jadawadjali.
"The installation recognises ongoing trauma and the importance of healing and cultural connection, understanding of the environment and focusses on working together."
The sculpture is located at the edge of the yarning circle in the Brambuk courtyard, with a fish net stencil beneath the canoe honouring Aunty Glenda Nicholls' weaving practice.
Brambuk was created through the collective vision of multiple Aboriginal community groups, representing Barengi Gadjin, Eastern Maar and Gunditj Mirring Traditional Owner corporations.
Gunditjmara, Wotjobaluk artist Tanisha Lovett and Gunditjmara artist Levi Lovett produced 'A Cultural Connection to Gariwerd (Brambuk)' - a series of four mixed media panels.
They said the work reflects the links between sky and land.
"Each panel has symbols drawn in the sky and the ground, representing the rich cultural stories and connection Aboriginal people have with the land and the sky," they said.
Frames for the panels were built by local makers Nick Scott and Tim Sweet using upcycled jarrah sourced from the site.
Brambuk and Gariwerd remain a gathering place for Traditional Owners with cultural responsibilities to the land.
The centre continues to share knowledge, promote reconciliation and respect.
The Brambuk Outdoor Artworks project was funded by a Creative Victoria grant, with the pieces now permanently displayed on the outer walls and grounds of the centre.
Self-guided and wheelchair accessible walks through Brambuk's wetlands and gardens link the Park Information Centre to the Cultural Centre, showcasing local plants and animals of Gariwerd.
While the Cultural Centre building is closed for upgrades, the Information Centre and outdoor precinct remains open for visitors to view the artworks and access park information.
