Bush Dolls - Walk for Reconciliation

Perth

In the early morning chill, overlooking the quiet Beeliar and bustling Boorloo, over 7,000 people walked through Kaarta Koomba to support National Reconciliation Week. Community Arts Network was the last stop in the Walk for Reconciliation where attendees were invited to create a bespoke piece of jewellery from raffia and decorate their very own Noongar bush doll made from natural materials collected in the park.

A huge thank you to our incredible artists Sharyn Egan and Geri Hayden for helping hundreds of walkers create gorgeous keepsakes.
