LEARNING COUNTRY

Learning Country is a beautifully designed, colourful picture book that honours the traditional names of iconic Australian places like Gadigal (Sydney) and Lunawuni (Bruny Island). Created by the talented Gudanji/Wakaja artist Ryhia Dank, this contemporary book invites young readers to connect with the land and its stories. From laughing like a kookaburra in Canberra to walking softly under the bunya pines in Meeanjin, Learning Country is an exploration of language, culture, and the timeless wisdom of the land, celebrating Australia’s rich Indigenous heritage through vibrant illustrations.
