Description
Spotted this birdyulang marara (Wiradjuri meaning old scar tree) while travelling in 🇦🇺. The River Red Gum offered up a canoe for the aboriginal mob of the area long time ago. It is considered to be 500 years old! In recent time it was vandalized and it was feared to be lost. The indigenous people worked hard to save it out of honor and respect. Note the evidence of life at top. These scar trees are to the Ancient People of Australia as Notre Dame is to the French.
Original size is 4" x 10" Buyer should compensate accordingly.
