This work is an outcome of Baluk Arts’ Gumbadik (Soft Tree Fern) project which connected local Aboriginal people of diverse heritage to one of the few original natural environments of the Mornington Peninsula. Endeavour Fern Gully in Red Hill which is managed by the National Trust of Australia (Victoria), holds a rich history and cultural significance which captured the imagination of this important collective of Indigenous artists.

Yvonne Luke is Alyawarr woman who joined Baluk Arts in 2013 and is a board member, artist and active contributor to our community.  Yvonne is a retired Aboriginal welfare worker who is a former respected Elder of the Broadmeadows Koori Court and received the Robin Clark Memorial Award in 2003 for her dedication and advocacy for young Aboriginal people. Yvonne creates three dimensional works and paintings of her country around the Davenport Ranges in the Northern Territory.

This image captures the Kangaroo Apple flower and the unripened fruit. I anticipate the fruit ripening soon for us women to gather.
