Inspired by the Murnong plant used by the Wurundjeri people and possibly other clans of the Kulin nation. Murnong is a Woiwurrung word for the plant, it has many other names in other Australian Indigenous languages.
The edible tuberous roots of the Murnong plant were once a vitally important source of food for the Indigenous people in the southern parts of Australia. Indigenous women would dig for roots with a yam stick and carry the roots away in a dillybag or rush basket.
We will be gifting $5 from each sale of our Murnong Man print to the Sharing Stories Foundation.
