Heal Country is an acknowledgment to country, on which we meet, live, work, and play. The artwork is inspired by layers of local landscapes, foods, bush medicine and healing plants.

Alia Ardon’s new film, Colours of Country, was commissioned and developed by PACT to document the making of our mural. Alia’s film features interviews with the artists, PACT community and local neighbours, talking about what the mural means to them.
