Making a platter for place!

This platter is called “Meeting of the Waters’ - the indigenous name for Echuca by the Yorta Yorta people. So called because of its location regarding the junctions of the Murray, Campaspe and Goulburn Rivers. Two of these rivers now have their rightful names - Dungala and Yakoa, signposted for all to see and learn from. The serpentine lines of the rivers wind their way across country and the carved areas reflect the redgum forests existing today post colonial land clearing. The fine gold lustre lines trails along the edges. This platter was close to my heart as it is part of my homeland and I have spent many years on the waters of these three rivers. I am excited to consider that this template can be used for many different places and terrains and I hope that it sparks the imagination of what I can collaborate on and make specifically for people to create their own stories with.
