The dry central western region of New South Wales is Wiradjuri Country. Here, the landscape slips from one weather cycle into another as hot, dry and windy times soften into crisp chill.

Meet the animals you can find on Wiradjuri Country in this intricately illustrated introduction to the Wiradjuri Language by two Wiradjuri creatives.

In giwang, Wiradjuri animals are shown along with Wiradjuri Language and English translations. Belinda Bridge’s words weave an unpredictable cycle onto the page against beautiful paintings by Wiradjuri artist Peta-Joy Williams.

This evocative resource speaks to readers of all ages. It is rich with cultural meaning and is a significant Wiradjuri title to add to bookshelves.
