We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of this Land, the Dharug people, and their continued connection to Country.
We pay our respects to Elders from yesterday to tomorrow.
We extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples of Blacktown City where the flannel flowers still grow proud and strong.
We will walk softly on this land and open our hearts to Country as the Dharug people have for tens of thousands of years.
Artists Jan Cleveringa and Rosalind Stanley were commissioned to create murals in Marketown Riverstone. The artists consulted with Darug artist Leanne Watson for input in the designs with Darug symbology.
The artists have created panels depicting parts of the history and identity of Riverstone from the European settlement to now with Dharug designs throughout the panels.
This project will be soft launched on Monday 14 December with the Mayor of Blacktown at Riverstone Marketown.
Funded by Blacktown City Council.
