Boyi Biddis (Turtle Tracks) by Peter John Farmer II

This artwork is a Moort (family) of Boyi (long-neck turtles) travelling on country and the well-worn Biddis (tracks/paths) that take them from the land to the myriad of water catchments throughout Nyoongar Boodja (country). The three circular symbols represent three of the 14 clans in Nyoongar Boodja. These three clans are Wadjak or Swan River peoples Binjareb or Peel regional clan and Yued – the Lancelin and Wedge-Island moiety. These clans have a history of working together cohesively with shared access to resource-rich lands. The beautiful colours of those lands are also depicted in the artwork.
