We acknowledge the Mary Valley, Queensland as home of the Kabi Kabi peoples, the Traditional Custodians, whose lands and waters we all now share, respect and love. And here in this place in the Yabba Valley, we specifically recognize the Baiyambora clan as its traditional residents.
We recognise that this territory with its plateaux and gorges, valleys and ranges has always been a place of cultural, spiritual, social and economic significance. And in that culture there was a diversity of art forms, some functional, some educative, some creative, which together, expressed and sustained their culture. So we continue to respect work of Aboriginal artists, their aspirations and expressions, and acknowledge that in the past, at present, and into the future their contributions have, are and always will be part of Australian heritage.
That heritage is all about us, right now. Here at "Art on Yabba" beside "Wild Vine Café" in Imbil, Australia:
“Imbil” – water-bearing wild vine of the softwood scrubs.
“Yabba” – Brachychiton discolour – bush tucker, scrub bottle tree, lacebark kurrajong. Alexander Swanson, a Scot who took up the Yabba Run, inquired of the Baiyambora people the name of the tree whose pink and red flowers are dropped into the creek daily at this time of year. "Yabba", was the reply – thus he named his sheep station and by extension, Yabba Creek, Yabba Road, Yabba Falls, Yabba Range.
And then there is Brachychiton bidwillii, a related species with its rich pink flowers. It is generally a smaller tree and commonly called dwarf kurrajong, but we call it “Little Yabba”.

Brush Box (Lophostemon confertus (syn. Tristania conferta))

For my 100 Flowers Project - 2023

I have held off completing my 100 Flowers Project for this year as I am hoping for a couple of 'specials' to bloom. This is one of those.

I am way behind today. We have been at Daniel and Sarah's school for much of the day as the school is celebrating 50 Years. 16 of which we have been involved.
